Grandma Betts

I've been thinking about posting all week but it's been a tough week. Mom called me on Tuesday to tell me that my Grandma had passed away. The funeral was on Saturday. It was very nice. I cried more than I thought I would. I'm so grateful to have the gospel in my life. I don't know how people who don't have it handle things like death. We have such a hope-filled view of death. I know I will see my Grandma again. She has finished her mission on Earth but she's not gone. I haven't seen much of her lately, but I was able to attend a birthday party for her and Grandpa (both have February birthdays) just a few weeks ago. I'm glad I got to see her again.
Now Grandpa is my only living grandparent.
I know the atonement is real and that through the suffering of Christ we can return and live with Him again. I'm so grateful to have grown up with that knowledge.
I love my Grandma. I've been thinking a lot about how strong she was. She raised 12 children. I could not do that. She has been a good example to me and I am a better person because I had her in my life.
