R.I.P. Granddaddy

So, last Wednesday, February 18, 2015, my granddaddy died around 7 am. This is really hard for my family and me. The funeral is this Saturday but I already had plans to go to the Ramp. I just want to see him one more time to say goodbye for now. I know for a fact  that he is in heaven watching over us. He was diagnosed with bone cancer and his health was deteriorating and fast. He lost lots of weight and was in lots of pain. At least now he is with God and is happy and pain-free. God I pray and ask you to comfort us. Even if you don't comfort me, please comfort grandma and my family. I was told today that Tori watched as they covered his body. I just pray that she is not traumatized. Lord please be with her. Please be with my family. I love them and I can't stand to see them hurting. In Jesus's name, I ask these things. Amen.

This picture is from 3 years ago. They were married for 17 years. He loved her so much and she, him.

Flying Free

Where is the girl I use to be?
Happy and laughing, feeling so free.
As I examine myself to answer the question,
I found that she's hidden away deep inside me.
How do I rescue her? How do I set her free?
I ask God and he tells me,"She's not hidden.
You've set her free. I can see that because you're smiling.
No more sorrow. No more pain. You've let go of the past.
You're living for ME. That's the way it ought to be.
I'm proud of you. Now can you see? Look in the mirror.
The girl you use to be is flying free!"
