Grandma Helen Billing

This is officially my 300th post since I've started this blog!

I wanted to save this significant blog post for a very special lady: Helen Billing.
Grandma passed away in Springfield, OH last week. I'm so grateful we had the opportunity to share precious moments with her. We were blessed to have her in our lives......

I fell in love with this song when Bryan and I went to a "Trampled By Turtles" concert in Salt Lake City. I wanted to share it with you while you scroll down and look at my favorite photos of Grandma Billing.......

 

I love how Grandma's presence and positive energy filled any room, and how she dominated conversations I had with her.
lol
I'll never forget that infectious smile & contagious laugh and how her eyes sparkled when she looked at me.
She enjoyed the simple things in life.
She was one of the sweetest ladies I've ever known.
I love how she loved. 

~ We love you and miss you Grandma Billing;
until we see you again.......................

Gone Away

© Diana Blokzyl

An Angel whispered
take my hand and
come with me
you're work here is done.

I went away to a place
where there's no tears, nor sorrow
only laughter and smiles,
there will always be a Tomorrow.

As I move amongst the clouds.
I'll look down and smile upon you,
while the angels
sing a heavenly song.

I am not alone
all who went before
are here
they awaited my return.

I know you'll grieve
and wish I was still here
I am here in the memories
you hold dear.

Remember how much I
love you
and know I took your
love with me.

I did not wish for
you to cry, nor feel sad.
My pain is gone and
I am Free!

Soon you'll come to me
until then
God will be with you
Just as He's with me.

Bryan's Birthday

Bryan's birthday was a little more low key. It was a relaxing Sunday. We had some of the family over for chocolate cake & ice cream late afternoon. Then, it was off to the softball field. It was a b.e.a.u.t.i.f.u.l. evening to be out and about! I was able to take some pictures before the battery died on my camera:
