Just a little update~~As you know today is the anniversary of my youngest sisters death and it has been taking a front seat in my mind lately that is until last night when the sadness was replaced with giggles, laughter, and wonder brought to us by her only child Lee and his only child EmmaLee.

She and her Dad on Sundays after her Mom has her for the weekends head back from Owasa to Grand Rapids and along the way Emma gets sleepy so to keep her from going to sleep Lee lets her call us

Well she was in her silly mood..one we needed right about then we had been boo hooing pretty much off and on all day, when we take turns talking to her and after each one of us ends up replacing tears with laughter we exchange the others conversation we had with her.

Its hard for her to understand that she can have a few Grand Mothers so she kinda goes around it when my Mom asks her if she misses Great Granny..Emma takes a deep breath and politely says yes..but your not Great your just a Granny Then she moves on to my Brother who for some reason known only to Emma calls him Grampaw she tells him yes Santa will be flying to her house but will be to tired to make it to our house but she will ask him to try even if we don't have any little kids.

Then my turn..Hi Aunt Beep..yes I did say Aunt Beep..she has always called me this because she cant say my first name..my middle name is Lynn..Hi Emma girl..who is this she says..this is Aunt Beep girl..she starts giggling then says no your not a girl your just an old girl Do you miss me..yes Emma I miss you very much..I ask her..do you miss me..she has a very high pitch voice and says YESSSSSS it seems she thinks the louder she says it the more it matters. Do you wuv me Aunt Beep..oh Emma I love you more then the world..She says..I wuv you as high as the sky..I love you as much as the birds..I wuv you as much as the clouds..I love you as much as the tall buildings..I wuv you as much as the Butterflies..I am a Butterfly Emma girl..she laugh and says..nope your not you are only an old girl and old girls cant fly I love this child so much

So Cindy as we celebrate your life and mourn your death I thank you for giving us the joy that can only be brought by the sweet innocence of a Child your beautiful Grand Daughter..EmmaLee

	That was beautiful Lynn. There is nothing like a child to make your sad heart sing. I remember when my little Chlo-Bug (Chloe) was a baby, she would wake from a dead sleep when I was around. Somehow she was able to sense when I was in the house. She would start crying until I picked her up. Then she would snuggle down into my arms and go back to sleep. That little girl pulled her Nana through a lot of tough battles. She is now 11 and still pulls me through. Thank God for grandbabies.

	A big hug to your nephew for letting the light of his daughter shine to you when you need it the most. Your sister is watching out for you, and in the actions of her son and grandaughter makes that loud and clear. What a beautiful testimony of love in the purest form. God bless you, Lynn...thanks for sharing

	I am glad she called you. Losing a loved one is tough, especially when they are younger, particularly at this time of year. Getting by a day like this is difficult. Positive distractions are sometimes the best way to not dwell on it as much.

	She says..I wuv you as high as the sky..I love you as much as the birds..I wuv you as much as the clouds..I love you as much as the tall buildings..I wuv you as much as the Butterflies That is soo sweet Lynn, when I talk to my sister on the phone or she is leaving after a visit...she alway's ask me, "How much do you love me"?...my response..A bushel, a peck and a trillion hug's around the neck..we have been doing that for as long as I can remember. (((Hugs))) to you and a special hug for EmmaLee.
