I've had some experiences the past few weeks that have really taken a lot out of me. From moving to weddings in Boise and back, my life seems to always be on spin cycle. Taking top prize of unexpected circumstances would be the passing of my wonderful grandmother, Nila Schrenk. What a wonderful woman, who loved her family more than anything! I had the honor of giving her life sketch at her funeral today, and even though I felt inadequate, I wouldn't have wanted anyone else to do it. It was such a blessing to be able to reminisce and talk about memories that were dear to our hearts, to compile all of these special things and write about them, and then ultimately to deliver them in a small glimpse of her life. I felt that it brought me closer to her, and gave me a chance at closure, which would have otherwise been a difficult thing for me. Oh, how I love my grandmother, and how my heart aches to know she is no longer here with us. But what peace fills my soul when I think about the reunion I will have with her when I pass on from this life!! I love you Grandma, and am looking forward to feeling your loving embrace again! You always inspired me to be a better person, and I will always remember the smile on your face when we would walk through your door. Until we meet again, I love you!
