18 long years since you've been gone. A lot has happen in this time. I miss you everyday and talk about you. We know you stayed around for awhile, the children had seen you. But now we know you are passed over. Everytime I see a post about 'if heaven had a bench and you could talk to one person who would it be" it is always you. I remember so much when we lived in the old house, I found out I was under 1 year old. I relive those moments. There is a lot of what ifs buts, ands. And a lot of questions still. But life has to go on, and soon I know the questions will be answered. I miss you gran, I love you. I will find a way to honor your memory and what you gave to our community and our lives. Ekosi. - Posted by: Destiny (Granddaughter ) on: Sep 15, 2018
