grieving as a family is a new experience for us. i suppose there is no "ideal" or "perfect" way for a loved one to pass away, as you can never fully be prepared to lose someone, and each time we reflect we agree that my grandmother's sudden passing last friday was God's best timing. it has been so long since our entire family has gathered together and we had just shared with and given grandma her happiest and most memorable moments since having fallen ill last year. it's hard to put into mere words how much she is missed, but we can rejoice when we know that she is now free of pain and is joyful at being reunited with my grandpa and uncle. nothing in this summer break has gone according to the original plan, but there is no doubt we will remember and hold this occasion close to our hearts for the rest of our lives.

"...the Lord is close to the broken"
