My aunt made me cry

04.21.2011 by juliegumm@yahoo.com //

It’s been a blast getting messages from friends and family about the book. Thank you to EVERY single one of you for your encouragement. The excitement is contagious.

Today I got a Facebook message from my Aunt that totally made me cry!

One simple line did me in…

“Know that Maw Maw and Paw are filled with love and pride in you and your love of the Lord.”

I still miss my Grandma Opal and Grandpa Jim sooooo much! It’s been 11 years since my grandma died and about 15 since we lost Grandpa. Yet the mention of their name or a glance at a picture still brings the tears.

I can’t wait to be reunited with them some day.
