I know when its your time to go- its your time to go. No matter how you go it was your time- God needed you home. You have completed everything you are suppose to do in this world and you now fly off to Heaven. Ryan's Grandma Dorothy flew off to heaven last week. After a few really hard days she finally said goodbye to all of her family and went back to Heaven to be with her sweethearts!
Although it seems too soon I know that's me being selfish- She is in such a better place and surrounded by my idea of Heaven- sun shinning, birds singing, all the sonic slushes you can imagine, running on clouds and playing with all the loved ones that went before you.
The service was very nice- everyone shared amazing stories that brought laughs and tears.
I keep imagining Grandma Dorothy playing with my baby GIRL- I know she will keep her happy and healthy until I get her!
