Grandma Clark is my Grandma. Although our paths intersected only 8 years ago, her family has become my family, and she has become my Grandma. I’m amazed by her life and her legacy. I’m in awe how she is revered and adored. I’m astounded by her strength, humbled by her generosity, grateful for her kindness. I appreciate her attention to detail and inclusion of all. I love how she loves her husband, her children, her family. I’m tickled by her humor, her laugh, and her wit. I am blessed to know her.
I think about Grandma, where she now, as she transitions from her life here to her life in heaven. I’m reminded of words from a beloved song, “When life had begun, [Grandma] was woven and spun, You let the angels dance around the throne. Who can say when, but they’ll dance again, when [she is] free and finally headed home. [She] will be weak, unable to speak…Still [she] will call You by name: Creator, Maker, Life-sustainer, Comforter, Healer, My Redeemer, Lord and King, Beginning and the End. I Am, yes, I Am.”
The angels are dancing, Grandma…Dancing for joy that you are home in the presence of our sovereign Lord. We are comforted to know that you lived a full and complete life here on earth. You have left quite a legacy, one that many of us, including myself can hope to live up to. So dance away, sweet Grandma. Dance with the angels, dance with your loved ones. Dance with your two precious babies. Dance with Jesus. We love you.
