"Our death is not an end if we can live on in our children and the younger generation. For they are us, our bodies are only wilted leaves on the tree of life". ~Albert Einstein
At almost 92 years of age, my dear grandmother passed away early this afternoon. While it's heartbreaking that we are here in Cleveland instead of with family in Kansas City, a sense of peace still comes over myself when I think of her in Heaven. I know she is with my grandpa who passed earlier this year as well as their little pet and best friend, Toy, among other passed family. I also know she died in peace, having lived life to the absolute fullest and touching everyone she met.
In several discussions today, I was reminded of the circle of life. When my grandfather on my dad's side passed three years ago, my cousin had a beautiful daughter born into the family. When my grandfather on my mom's side passed earlier this year, my other cousin gave birth to the cutest little boy, Jackson. And now, I will carry on the circle of life when our son is born in January, only a few months after my grandmother passed.
Grandma; You were warm and gentle, always smiling and kind.
We will miss your presence and beauty greatly.
Love always,
Sarah and Derek
