" La Alegria de la casa"

"Eres la alegria de la casa" my grandma would always tell me. With her bright blue wide open eyes and her smiling with her missing tooth on the side of her mouth. Will always be the memory that I have of my dearest grandma. I have never fully understood death until she passed away. Someone so close to me, and so close to my heart. I wish I could tell her one more time how much I love her, and how much I miss coming home to her. Coming home to her sitting in her spot by the window gazing outside. Coming home to her wanting to ask me about EVERYTHING, and to repeat it to her in Spanish since she didn't understand English. I miss hearing her sing. dance. laugh. I miss seeing her. Now, I only see the empty bed, the unworn clothes in a closet, and her smell of perfume. Its not the same, but I do know something, something that will always be true and am sure about, and that is the Atonement of Jesus Christ. I know that he died that we may all be able to live with him again. I know that through him, I can see my grandma again. I love knowing that. It brings me so much peace and comfort. Abuelita yo te quiero decir, tu nieta favorita te amo mucho! Te extrano, y que en realmente quiero ser como tu,  la alegria de la casa!
