May Flowers

Recently we have got lots of rain which we did need some but I am very over the rain! My grandma (dad's mom) would always say March winds bring April showers which bring May flowers which cause June weddings! I always think of that in the spring and I always think of my dear Grandma Little.  She died unexpectedly when I was a sophomore in high school.  This October will mark twelve years she has been gone and it just doesn't seem right.  My grandma and I were very close!  I just feel like our time was cut short. She wasn't here to see me graduate, get married, or become a mom.  That is very tough for me because I want to be able to share all of my life's happiness with her! But then I remind myself she is and did get to see all of those things because I know without any doubt she is looking down on me from heaven! The night before her funeral those almost twelve years ago I had a dream that I was sitting on her couch and she was sitting in my Pawpaw's chair and she smiled at me and said I am ok and then she was gone.  I have carried that dream with me always and just remember that she is smiling down on me! So every year when Spring rolls around and all the rain comes I think right around the corner are some May flowers and I smile!
