one year

One year at times seems like no time at all and at times feel like forever. Today I was at school getting ready to pick my kids up from specials and realized it was the exact time I left the hospital from sitting with Ma Dot one year ago. I was overcome with more emotions than I can explain. I still miss Ma Dot so much. Earlier this month I called Papa Charlie to tell him happy birthday and I still have their home number saved as Ma Dot. When I saw her name on my phone my mind flooded with all the times I would call and talk to her. She always sounded so excited when I called and we could talk for five minutes or a hour and it was always wonderful. She was such an encouragement to me. I will be forever thankful that a year ago today I spent those last few hours with her here on earth. Hannah still misses her so much as well. She has not talked about her in a while, but did visit her grave twice while we were there after Christmas. I am glad to have so many wonderful memories to hold on to and the peace of knowing she is in heaven and I will one day see her again.
