Thank you, Ericka.  Grieving is a long process.  So I hear you.  Keep those 
memories alive.

My heart goes out to you! I’ve lost a lot of family in the last three years. 
I was very close to my grandparents and I still want to talk to them and 
call them and ask them things. My parents aren’t getting any younger either. 
My parents are going on 79 and my dad‘s got medical stuff. I was very close 
to my grandparents and that was very tough. Hearing stories from others and 
telling stories about them has helped. Plus, I have a few things from their 
house, which means something to me. I try to carry on some of my grandma 
saying too. We are going to plant roses in honor of my grandparents in front 
of our house. This coming spring. Small ways we are keeping their interests 
and them alive. What I’ll do when my dad passes, I really don’t know because 
I’m very close to my dad. You are in prayer.
