Reflection

For the past few days I have been really thinking about things that happened over the last few months. I realized that I graduated from College and Jeremy's grandpa died. In thinking about these events, I realized I have not had time to process these two events.
Earlier this week, Jeremy and I visited with his grandma in her new place. She was talking about her adjustment to the place and how she missed Chris (her husband). There was a place in the room where she had a display case that had pictures of him. As she talked about her feelings and how she missed him, I started to get teary eyed, and sad. During the time of his death and funeral, I was studying for my finals and then graduated on the same day he was burried. It hit me then that I had not really mourned his death. I felt saddened by this. I know he's gone, but for some strange reason, it was then that it hit me that he was gone.
My graduation came and went. It still feels weird to me. It was hard to be happy about graduating when I was sad about a death in the family. I am thankful my family was here to support me during that time. It's been said that everything happens for a reason. Time heals everything and I am thankful for my support system!
