Yesterday was the 4 year anniversary of my Grandmas death. I always try to look a the positive, so I wasn't too upset, but I couldn't help but get a little emotional.
I was thinking about my home and how much she would have loved it. I even thought about how great it would have been, because she probably would have asked to be my room mate when I was looking! Talk about an amazing time!
Then I started to think about how she was always wanting the best for me and couldn't wait for me to find someone who would make me so happy. Now that I have Joshua, it makes me disappointed he wasn't around sooner. Is it weird that I want to take him to the grave site to introduce them to each other? I don't think so, but I'm weird like that.
Luckily, she lives on in my memories and through all the kind words of others. Those who know how much she meant to me always send me kind words that day, so it means a lot to me as well.
On a side/related note. I went to her grave yesterday to clean it up a bit and leave a penny for her thoughts, and I found another penny had already been placed there. Now I'm on a mission to see which family member or random friend does the same as me! I love it! Does anyone else leave a penny in the cemetery when you got to visit a loved one? I'm intrigued, is this a normal thing? Details!
I leave a stone, I like some of the reasons people of the Jewish faith do so:
