grandma - Sew a Fine Seam

My Grandma died in early December. I blogged about it here. Since Christmas my Mom and her sisters and sisters-in-law have been going through Grandma’s things and getting them ready for a family auction that will take place in a couple of months. Things that were given to Grandma for Christmas were offered back to the people who gave them to her. And some of the things that my aunts thought no one would want my Mom brought to me 😉 They think I’m a little strange but I know that my blog readers will ‘get it’!

Safe on His gentle breast;
There by His love o’ershaded,
Sweetly my soul shall rest.
Hark! ’tis the voice of angels

Memories

The house in the woods stands silent,

Its rooms nearly empty and bare,

For the life and laughter that lived there,

Has gone on to the Savior’s care.

A pile of dishes, old papers and books,

furniture, nick knacks, and more

Things from this life, all left behind

When she went to heaven’s shore.

I took some memories home with me

A couch, a chair, a dictionary,

Ironstone, books, a baby doll,

Little things that speak to me.

I stood in the silence, alone.

Closed my eyes and breathed in deep

the sweet essence of grandmas house

for the final time of my life.

I drove out the lane, rather sad,

my heart felt a bit of a pain

a tear or two trickled down my cheek

as i rounded the curve in the lane.

The memories will go on forever

Her smile, her caring, her love,

Her example of quiet simplicity

Her faith in the Father above.

Saying good-bye is so bittersweet,

Sad and yet happy since I know

I will see her again in heaven

When life’s over for me here below.
