This last week has probably been one of the most hardest and spiritual weeks of my life. I have never lost a grandparent before and I never could have imagined how hard it can be. This thursday We said goodbye to our beloved Nana (my moms Mother.) She has been sick off and on for the past few years but this time was just too much. She has been in so much pain and it is good to know that she is pain free now and with loved ones that have passed on before.

It is so hard to see someone you love pass away but I think the hardest part of all is seeing their sweetheart they left behind try to deal with probably one of the hardest things they have ever gone through. It was the sweetest thing to see my bompa (that is what we call my moms dad) as he sang love songs to her, held her hand, talk to her, and joke and laugh with her as she lay on her bed in a sleep that would have you think she was more on the other side then she actually was with us. But that didn't stop my Bompa from sweet talking her as if they were teenagers in love for the first time. But later That evening after my nana had gone and it was getting quite late and a lot of people had gone home, i had the opportunity to talk to my Bompa, just me and him. I have never had such a heart felt conversation with him. He was sitting in the rocking chair and i knelt down right in front of him so i could look him in the eyes. He told me how scared he was to be alone, to go to sleep that night without her there beside him. He told me how they would always sing a few primary songs, or hymns after they said their prayers and before they would fall asleep. My bompa is such a strong and spirtual man. It was so hard to see him hurting so much and all i could do was hold him and tell him how i would be praying for him all through the night, that he would have angels their to comfort him and hold him through the night so he could sleep. It was a moment that i will treasure forever.

I am so glad to know the truth. To know that families are forever and that we will see Nana again and she will be free of all her pain and cancer. She will be the Nana that we all remember and love so much. The gospel is amazing and i know that because of our savior we will live again for all eternity.
