Because I don't want to forget

Today my mom posted this on facebook.

Yesterday was my Mother's 98th birthday. For many years I went to Spokane to spend this day with her. We had some fun birthday parties and teas. I woke up not crying until my sweet daughter, my mother's name sake came over with purple flowers for me with a note she was thinking of me. I lost it and am still crying. Oh I miss my Mom. She loves flowers and purple is her favorite color. Love to mom and her thoughtful name sake.

Then my sister Sherry posted this:

I was thinking about her yesterday too. I am filled with joy that she is in heaven, free from her failing body with her loved ones. Christ's grace is sufficient. She has not gone far. She is closer than you realize. You just can't hold her hand right now. Love you mom!

 I never ever want to forget how much this meant to me today.  I am so grateful for my testimony in eternal families and that I know I will be with my grandma again.
