Being Joyful as I daily seek to journey with joy carried by LOVE. A blog about myself and my family. The name of my blog is a combination of my middle name and a nickname my Oma gave me years ago.

Fond memories...

( You may want to enlarge these photos so you can see the smiles better. These photos were taken in March of 1999 in Quebec at a cabane-à-sucre & in the summer of 1998 right beside their house)
So often I tell my boys about their great-Opa and how much they would have loved to spend time with them and how much fun he would have been (their Opa (my dad is an awesome grandfather) . He passed away 7 years ago yesterday (February 20th, 2003) and my boys never got to meet him. My oldest was a year old. My Opa got to see photos of him but that was all.
He passed away much sooner than we all expected.
I often miss him and wish he were still alive but he's much happier & healthier in Heaven. He was a wonderful grandfather to spend summers with in B.C & with my Oma at their home by the beach. I am also glad he was able to attend our wedding almost 13 years ago.
As every year passes, I know that more and more loved ones will be taken from this life and that it could happen at any moment. It is my prayer that they will all have known Christ as their Saviour & be received in Glory.
