Long drive, but worth every mile

So we went down to my Grandma's funeral last week in a very rushed trip of 3 days. We left at 2 on Wednesday,and we made it back to Pullman by 1:30 on Friday, and dropped Scott off at school. A lot of driving, but it was so nice to see my family and all of my cousins I havent seen in a long time. My Grandma looked beautiful and I am glad we were able to make it. I loved hearing my mom and Aunts & Uncles speak about my grandma. My Aunt Renae told a quote from my grandma about death and sadness and how we can help others. "You cant fix the sad, But you can bring(or share?)a little happiness to them. What a great attitude. I know that when death occurs to friends and family and those around us, were not sure what to do or what we can say to help or to show we care. I think a big one is listening, and service. Not pushy service, but sincere service. We can't fix the sad, but we can bring a little happiness to them by loving them, listening to them , sincere service and being their friend always. Atleast thats how I see it. I am thankful for the wonderful example and memories that were shared about my Grandma. She was indeed an elect lady whom I love and miss.
