Bright Spots

My grandmother’s online condolence book is still active on the Website for the funeral home my uncle and mother used. I haven’t looked at it since last fall, but a new entry was shared by my aunt:

“The earth feels lonely without Becky. When you were fortunate to know her, she kept you close to her heart. She sheltered you with her love and devotion. When you think about God giving us bright spots in our life…You think Becky.” 

I’ve been thinking about my grandmother on a daily basis lately - how much she would have enjoyed my brother’s wedding and how she’d be excited over my pregnancy.

I really miss her letters and phone calls. I miss her voice. 

I hope I am a bright spot in others’ lives.
