Happy Channucah
Feliz Navidad
Happy Quanza
Merry Yule
The funeral went great, I even said a few words on a turn of events, and I know Grammie smiled from that. My Father, Adam, and JB Jr all noted how she was a devout Christian and would quote the bible to everyone to show them the way to be good. But for my words, I showed people her other side. The side that she showed me since I'm not religious in the same sense they are. I think she really like that, and I know my Father did, it brought him to tears.
They all had cards and papers for planning, but all had i had to go on was my heart, and it was hard...about a minute in I took off my hat. (we were outside in the cold raining windy storm so everybody was still bundled) THen as I broke down a little more I took my glasses off so my eyes could get the water out. I couldnt stop fidgeting while talking to everybody and it was hard to keep a grip on my hat, so the next things to go were my gloves. But I made it through, cold tears being blown off my face, heh, and I felt like a huge weight had been lifted and that people had seen more to Grammie than what they thought they knew.
Most people ONLY knew her southern baptist side, and thats the side she always showed, but with me...she gave a little more, cared a little more, understood that wasnt my beliefs. I just hope i made that point clear to everybody else too, that she was the most understanding and loving person, to all people, no matter what thier religion or race.
Anywho, nearly immediately after the funeral ended it stopped storming and began to softly snow, thats how I know she was smiling and happy with us, Grammie did so love the white snow on christmas eve and morning. And it wasnt some sort of blizzard, it was just a slow steady snow, and after a few hours it still had barely covered the ground. but looking outside now...theres been a build up of several feet thick, and its pure bueaty. A pearly white ocean of love sent from Grammie back to us.
I will miss her, but I'm glad that shes happy and back with my Grandfather. He's been waiting patiently for 26 years for her to come hold his hand, and now they are side by side forevermore, just as in love as the day they married.
So tomarrow(today?) is Christmas day, and we start our journey to San Antonio, then I fly back to florida on the 31st. I've already got a few people that want to see me when I get back and when they get back from THIER vacations respectively. Ale's with derek and stephen, monteray grill with liz, bootsies with allenpants, and either ryan commin to see me or i might head up to his place to knock out seein him dev amanda staccums and kess all at once. See yall then I guess? Lol, unless I have something to update sooner.
