two years without...

I was reading my one year without.. post last night and was surprised to realize that I feel almost the exact same way now as I did one year ago.  I miss my Grammie terribly and I would love to have more hugs, more kisses, more winks, more laughs, more photographs, more time... but I would never ever want her to have to feel the pain that she felt her last few years with us.  

My mom, my aunt and myself went out for lunch today... just us gals :)  We had a great time, just sitting and talking.  I am so blessed to have such incredibly wonderful, giving, loving women in my life.  LOVE YOU MUCHERMOSTESTMOREBIGGERMORE!!!

Here are a few photos of a book made in memory of my Grammie... I absolutely LOVE every single page... it's perfect.  I've looked at this books dozens and dozens of times since I received it and each time I love it more!!! 

There’s a little flame inside us all
Some shine bright, some shine small
The rains will come and the waters rise
But don’t you ever lose your light

In this life you will know
Love and pain, joy and sorrow
So when it hurts, when times get hard
Don’t forget whose child you are

This little light of mine
I’m gonna let it shine
This little light of mine
I’m gonna let it shine, gonna let it shine

May you live each day with no regret
Make the most of every chance you get
Let your eyes get wide when you look at the stars
With the same sense of wonder as a child’s heart

With the ones you love treasure the time
And for those who are gone keep their memories alive
Hold on to your dreams don’t ever let go
There’s a fire inside you burning with hope

This little light of mine
I’m gonna let it shine
This little light of mine
I’m gonna let it shine, gonna let it shine

There will be days when you want to give up
When the clouds settle in
But after the rain comes the sun
Don’t you ever forget

One day there will be no more pain
And we will finally see Jesus’ face
So until then I’m gonna to try
To brave the dark and let my little light shine

This little light of mine
I’m gonna let it shine
This little light of mine
I’m gonna let it shine, gonna let it shine

There’s a little light inside us all
