Bye, Grandma. See you soon!

This past Tuesday, my grandmother passed away.  She was 98 years old.  We will miss her, but she had been having a very rough last few months.  It had been very hard to watch and hear of her slowly succumbing to old age, but still hanging on.  However, with confidence in her salvation, she went home this past Tuesday to be with the Lord.

Oddly, I had a dream about her and Grandpa the day before.  In the dream, both were happy and were glad to see each other again.  In the dream, they were back in their old mobile home, the irises were blooming, and my family was there greeting Grandpa as though he'd been gone on a long trip, but was safely back and very glad to see Grandma again.  

Knowing that heaven is a fact is such an assurance.  Grandma (and Grandpa as well) is without a doubt happy, whole, and rejoicing at having a new body that is free from the ailments she experienced here.  Truly, death has been swallowed up in life!
