My husband and I are unfortunately at the age where we now face saying goodbye to our grandparents. While we know that we are immensely blessed to have had them with us for so long, it does not lessen the sadness of losing these significant individuals who played huge roles in shaping who we are today.
As I look back, it’s not hard to understand why saying goodbye is so difficult. My grandparents stand at the head of our family, leading us all by example in the selfless, caring, and Christ-centered way they have lived their lives. To say they are role models is an understatement. They have shaped our family dynamic and I know the ripple effects from their lives will be felt for generations to come.
