I tossed back and forth between certain people, things, or ideas...but I decided to settle on someone who did and always will impact me greatly...my sweet Grandma Bowthorpe.
My Grandma and I had a very very special bond. I was the youngest grandchild. That meant that I got to spend a lot more one on one time with her while all the other grandkids were at school! ;)
She taught me more about life than I think anyone has. She represented the best things about the gospel. She was faithful in scripture study, temple attendance, and genealogy. She taught me about true never ending love and sacrifice through her example as a mother and grandmother.
I truly can not explain what it means to me that my kids all got to meet her.:
What's even better is that they remember her...and each have their own memories. Even Kayler still talks about her.
Because of my love for her, and my absolute knowledge that she is in heaven, she impacts me every day to try to be a better person. I know that if I can live half as righteously as she has that I will be able to see her again.
I miss her extremely bad...so bad that it physically hurts me sometimes. It is her birthday on the 21st of this month. Next month marks the 2 year anniversary of her death.
I hope that I can make her proud by the choices I make and the way I live my life.
