“Perhaps they are not stars, but rather openings in heaven where the love of our lost ones pours through and shines down upon us to let us know they are happy.”

You know how they always say that God only gives you trials that you can handle? Well my family must be super strong!! Three grandparents gone in 1 week. Ya, that is what I call a rough week. A week full of roller coaster emotions, lack of sleep and physical exhaustion from all of the stress. My emotions are so unpredictable. Sometimes I will just see something small that reminds me of my grandparents and just break down. Walking through Wal-Mart and crying is not normally acceptable so it is kind of hard because I feel the need to hold in my grief a lot of the time. But it literally hurts inside, like someone punched the wind out of me. But my family must be pretty strong because we continue to work hard together. Though my family all should really not be together (since it is practically three families put together), and at times it seems that it is going to fall apart, we are all still together. I have a great family. I am so thankful that I have them in my life and that I continue to have them watching over me, both here on earth and those that have passed watching me in heaven.

Grandpa was my best friend. He always was watching over me, and continues to do so.
