Grandma Leah

I don't think about you all the time, but there are those special moments that come, where I can't help, but wish you were here to experience them with us. My wedding day, becoming one with your son before all our family and friends. There was so much joy and laughter! I know you would have loved to have been there. Our first Thanksgiving and Christmas. I bet James had a favorite recipe of yours that you could have taught me to make him. Every time we bring new life into this world. This one has to be when I miss you the most. I never got to meet you, but I've heard about how wonderful you were. I can't imagine how much you would have treasured watching your son become a father, and holding your grandchildren for the first time. There's always a moment after each birth were I imagine you in the room holding them. It brings me to tears every time.
I wish you were here to tell me all about you son. The things only a mother knows. Little secrets that you kept to share with me about him. What he was like when he was to little to remember. How he made you laugh. Times when he drove you crazy. How much his sons look like him, and act like him. The times in space that only a mother remembers. I know the Lord took you for a reason, and that you are at peace, but oh how you are missed in our home and in our hearts. Grandma Leah you will be forever treasured by this family.
