Great grandmother

June was such a crazy month for all of us, with momma bear traveling to Florida, Maryland, and California and your great grandmother sick in Korea.  So, last minute, I decided to go visit her since it's been over 10 years since I last saw her.  It was actually your pappa that convinced me to go.  He said that if this is possibly the last time I will see her, that I should go.  So, wedged between the Florida and Maryland trip I made a 6 day trip to Korea.  I don't even know where to start to tell you about how amazing your great grandmother was.  She was a fighter, she never let anything bring her down and was such strength for her family.  She was an amazing woman of faith.  She endured so much in her lifetime but never complained and always made a life lesson out of it.  She loved your grandmother, your momma bear, and you beyond any of our comprehension.  When I went to go see her, she was sick, but well enough to recognize me, to talk to me, and to even make me promise her that I would bring the whole family out to Korea to see her next year.  She really believed that she was going to get better--if only her body was as strong as her mind. Your great grandmother passed on July 1--your grandmother's birthday.  Don't worry, I will tell you stories of her and never let you forget how great of a woman she was, because our family would not be who we are without her.

Grandma, I miss you so much!  I am so glad that I had the opportunity to see you one last time before you passed.  I look forward to the day that I can see you again in Heaven.  I love you!!
