"May be surrounded by a million people I still feel all alone, I just wanna go home"

we got the call today...my grandmother passed away in her sleep last night. While my heart is heavy and very saddened, I know she is in heaven with her momma...the one place she couldn't wait to go. She was a very Godly woman and I looked up to her so. Many memories were spent as a child at their home in Milton. My papa had a chicken farm and every morning when I would stay there we would go get eggs, feed the chickens, and even break a few eggs on the way back. I would then come in and my Granny would put me in the tub wash me down and then afterwards spread all different lotions and powders all over my body to make me smell good. I can still to this day remember standing on the tub and the smell of the lotion she used. Sometimes I'll catch a smell of it in the air and it will take me back. I can remember going on many trips to Munson pool, the park on Munson Hwy-(and even remember breaking my arm there), and many many trips to Hardees for my Jelly Biscuit.

I feel so much sorrow...but even more for my dad. We haven't spent much time together in the past few years and I long to be back to a point where me and dad are close again. I want my children to have a grandfather in their life so that they can have the same memories that I've had.

I plan on getting together with my dad tonight for the first time since before my wedding over a year ago. Hopefully this will put us back on track.
