Wendel blessed our sweet boys at church today. They were both given beautiful blessings and it was a nice day with family. I will share more another time but wanted to quickly write that this morning as I was getting ready, I was thinking about Grandma and Grandpa Roberts (especially Grandma) and missing them. I thought of how much I would love to sit down and talk with them and how I missed her matter of fact way of expressing herself, how she had a story for everything and loved to talk, how she called me "Ash," how she never gave up on my dad, how she would have loved to attend the babies' blessings today if possible...and I felt an overwhelming feeling of missing her but also feeling like she and Grandpa weren't far away today. It brought tears to my eyes. Before leaving for the church, I slipped on a ring that used to be hers that I picked out when I was in high school. I remember her saying, "You want that ring? It's just a cheap thing," or something like that. But I liked it and I like that it reminds me of her. The veil felt a little bit thiner today.
It is almost midnight now so I will continue writing about the boys' blessings another time.
