On Wednesday, January 28th, I said goodbye to my last grandparent. My grandmother Mary Grace Gabriel was born March 21, 1929. She was 79 years old when she passed away this past Sunday, just 2 months shy of her 80th birthday. She had three children, 7 grandchildren and 11 great grandchildren. It was bittersweet because the last year she has been in a home with other Alzheimer's patients but seemed to be doing better. The thing that I am most sad about is the relationship I wish I could of had with my grandmother. The song playing, I Can Only Imagine by Mercy Me, is one of my most favorite songs and one I want to play at my own funeral. The other song My Wish by Rascal Flats is another song I want played and dedicated to my kids and hopefully grand kids. This is a special song that my boys and I listen to together and I always tell them it's my song to them. Got that honey! Goodbye Grandma, I love you! Give Papa a big hug for me!Thursday, February 5, 2009

We also played I can Only Imagine at Clint's dad's funeral. There are days when I can't get that song out of my head, but it still makes me so sad to hear it played. I am sorry to hear about your grandmother. It sounds like she lived a long life and was loved very much.
