Remembering.an.Angel

Luke and I are both lucky enough to still have all of our immediate Grandparent's with us today.  Today I was reminded of someone in Heaven.  Almost two years ago, my Great Grandmother passed away.  I don't deal well with death or pain in the people I love.  I don't like to confront it, so I did not see my Great Grandma before she went to Heaven.  I chose rather to remember her in her happy days and moments - and I am happy with that decision.  I now only remember the happy times I spent with her, not her painful days.  I kept a single flower from my Great Grandma's funeral and I still have it, after almost two years.  I keep it in my car so that I always have a Guardian Angel protecting me while I'm on the road.  It's in a secret hiding spot, but every now and again I come across it and smile.  Today was one of those days.  I came across the flower which represents my Great Grandma.  I had a breif moment and told her the latests in my life.  The biggest news I had for her was the news that I, her Great-Granddaughter is engaged to be married.  Tears filled my eyes, as I was sad that she will not physically be a part of one of the biggest days in my life.  Then I had tears of happiness, as I remembered her and all that she has given me.  If it wasn't for her, I would not have Nana, and I would not have my amazing Mother.  You never know when a tiny little flower might show up, and how it can speak volumes in your life!
