(You may talk about your losses in this thread)

Hey guys, I just lost my closest family member today. (My grandmother.)

I dedicate this thread to her and her wonderful life and all the fun and joy she brought to me and my family

Grandmother, I love you and i hope you rest in heaven in peace with God and all who else enters there.

Granny, the good you’ve done in life, the good you’ve done for other people and the love you’ve given, is real. The effect of that goodness on me, for instance, is alive in me this very minute. You’ve made a difference in my life, and in the shaping of me. You’ve helped me to be a better person. So the goodness of you, the love and kindness and generosity and compassion, is carried on within me.

And being a better person, I pass the goodness along to others. The love that I felt from you as I grew up in my town has touched me over and beyond the extents of us. Through me, your goodness ripples outward.

And I’m just one person. Think of all the other people – hundreds, at least – you’ve affected directly. Your love touched them too, rubbed off on them, and left its lasting impression.The goodness of you will live on in me, and all those people, and all the ones we come in contact with, indefinitely into the future. In a sense real enough to be worth believing, the goodness in you, the best part of you, is already immortal.

RIP Grandmother!! :'(

I'm sorry for your loss, Devon. I've never experienced such devastation in my life yet such as a loss to a loved one that i'm very close to. But I was sad when I was at science fair and found out that my favorite cat got hit by a car and died. That's nowhere close to what you're experiencing right now.
