death and life

So I'm back from the Ozark Mountains..
This past month has been a whirlwind... Someone once told me that you can't experience life until you experience death..
My grandmother passed away after a brief stay at the hospital.We called her Amie and she is the one who taught me to love music....
She hit her head and started to hemmorhagein her brain and it was all down hill from there. She had some TIA strokes and then finally let go.. It was bittersweet we all were so sad to lose her but knew that she was probably alot happier and not in pain. The night she died Doug said to me," Do you think she is dancing in heaven right now? "
I have great memories of my Grandmother.. When i was young she used to live with us and take care of me. I remember if I skinned my knee or got hurt she would always say -- Don't worry it will be better before your married.. or if I was ever sad that I didn't get something I thought I deserved --she'd say " What's for you can't be un-for you -- don't you know that God is still on the throne.. ? Before she died she was in and out of a coma my mom put the phone up to her ear and I got to sing to her.. a song she taught me. --'it'll soon be done all our troubles and trials when I get home to the other side. i'm going say hello to the elders -tell all the people good morning,i'm going to sit down beside my jesus --sit down and rest a little while..'
When I finished it sounded like she was trying to talk. My mom said that she even opened her eyes -something she had not done all that day. She passed the next day.
It is always so hard when you lose someone you love.. but as a follower of christ i know i'll see her again.
