One Year Anniversary

One year ago today, my Grandpa Johnson died suddenly. This past year has been an interesting one. Every once in a while, I go to the cemetery to visit him. The cemetery is a nice, quiet place where I can go to think. Well, anyways, it has taken some getting used to, but it has still been hard not having Grandpa here. It is hard not seeing him at band concerts, visiting his house, and having him over for dinner for his birthday or just for fun. Yes it has been hard, but as a family we have been helping each other through it all.

Even though it has already been a hard year, today was pretty hard. First year anniversaries are always the hardest, hopefully next year won't be as tough.

Today at church, during sacrament meeting, the closing song was "Families Can Be Together Forever." As we started singing, I didn't even make it through the first verse before I started to cry. This song made me think about eternal families. I am so grateful that I am a part of family that has the ability to be together forever. I am also grateful that I will get to see my Grandpa again, as well as my Grandma, whom I have never met. We will be together again.

Families are Forever!
