It's hard to believe it's been a little over five years since we lost Grandmommy. Jacob was only 8 months old when she passed away and I still find myself get sad every time he does something or says something I know she would get a kick out of. It's also hard to believe that she's never met Jonah. I know for a fact that she would get such joy out of these two sweet boys.
Jacob has been asking about her more and more. It's extremely important to us that we keep her memory alive and keep her a part of the boys' lives. We have a few pictures of her with baby Jacob and tell him over and over how much she loved him. He asks about her in heaven and if she's watching over him. I know it sounds silly, or even ridiculous, but there have been times that I've really truly believed she was here. The boys are so lucky to have amazing grandparents, but I will always be sad for them that she's not around.
We made a special point to really talk up Grandmommy's birthday this year. Jacob had the idea to release balloons for her in heaven. Unfortunately, the weather and a little thing called Strep Throat had different ideas. Next year, we'll definitely have to send balloons to Grandmommy in heaven on her birthday.
