Memory Diary Entry #5

 Dear Grandma, tonight I lead my phone call Bible study called Warriors In Faith. I know that if you and grandpa were still here, that you would be happy to know what I've accomplished with God's help and what God has brought me to over the past year and this year alone. Tonight I joined a phone call study called Foundational Faith and it was me and one other person. Before we prayed and before I shared different things with them, I opened my Bible to Psalm 30. As I continued to read I went to Psalm 28, 27, 26, and 25. As I kept looking at the verses and I'm seeing what verse 4 says in Psalm 24 as I type this, I can't help but think that God has a purpose and a plan for all of this and I know that His Ways are good. There isn't a day that I don't wish that you could be here with all of us, and to hold William Andrew Krafft in your arms and give him a kiss. I know that you're where you're supposed to be though and I know we will all see you again someday. I know that you're in our hearts just like God is in our hearts. I love you so much and I know that even though we can't talk physically with each other, I know that when I share the memories that are happy, funny and just wonderful memories with others, that you are smiling like you said you would in your letter to me and I'm smiling as I write this today. I know you told me that it's okay to miss you, to be sad and cry, but that I can then smile again and know that you're with me and you are never far apart or that you are never really too far gone because you're in my heart. I love you so much. I know I say that a lot in these posts but it's true, you mean the world to me and I'm thankful each day I got to spend with you. I want to share something that I know you can't see but I know others will and this is what I want to share with everyone right now. This is a memory I was telling two people about last night, which also made me smile while sharing it.

I was with my grandma and I said you would think my scar would clear up a little and she said not with how the forecast is looking and then I told her I loved her and then managed to tell her what I said about a scar on my hand because she thought I was talking about the weather, and then we both laughed out loud.


It's the memories like this that I'll smile at and I can see clearly how we were sitting on her back porch and just having a nice day together and sharing in conversation, much like this from that day. For anyone who knew my grandma, knew that she was very special, kind, loving, compassionate, and very caring too.

Memory Diary Entry #16

 Dear Grandma, I love you and I miss you. it's been a long time since I wrote how I felt on here but I'm still keeping busy and grandma you would be proud of me and grandpa would be too cause I'm planning to be baptized again in the Spring. I've been thinking long and hard about it and I want to do this. You are my strength when I am weak, you are the  treasure that I seek, you're my all in all. I want to share this link in hopes to anyone reading this that God is our strength, when we are at our weakest, He is the treasure that we seek and in all things, He is our all in all. So never give up your Faith, never lose Hope. Never quit on the things that God has in store for you. I love you grandma and I miss you but I know I'll see you again someday and I know you're with me in my heart forevermore. I love you grandma. You were one of the best grandmas a girl could ever ask for.

Memory Diary Entry #21

 Today is hard. I am having a little bit of a difficult time. I miss you so much grandma. You always have a special place in my heart. I miss you more now than ever, I wish I could call you and tell you all the things I'm doing. I wish I could hear your voice. I heard your voice in a voicemail, and while I smiled at that, and smiled at other things that you said or I said to you, it still pretty much leaves me to still wanting to hear your voice. I miss you and grandpa everyday. You were not just my grandma, you were a best friend. I love you and I remember spending the night at your house with chewy.  I'll keep your memory alive. I'll keep telling people about you. You're missed every single day. We love you and always will. I know that this isn't goodbye.  I put up signs in a game called Animal Crossing New Horizons that say In Loving Memory Of Grandma Connie. I did that, so I could keep your memory alive in the game. I'm hoping that I can put flowers beside t...

 Dear Grandma, today I had a neurology appointment and it went very well. I don't even have to go back till February. I miss you and grandpa every day. I love you guys and wish you could be here to see everything that goes on. Tomorrow is Wednesday and I'll be leading my phone call Bible Study again. I'll be talking about what the Bible says about Justice. I've been learning a lot ever since being a part of the phone call Bible Studies. One of the things I'm learning is about Job. If I were to tell you something, it's how I would want you to know that I'm good and I never ever have given up and I continue to help when needed. I would like to share this memory I wrote in dedication to my grandma because she was special. I love you grandma and I always will, I know you and grandpa are both in my heart like God is. Let me explain this for a minute because this song holds a special place in my heart. I’ve never really shared it with anyone else , except that I’v...
