Every time I sat down to do this post, I would tear up and not be able to focus enough to get through it, but...I also knew that it was important to write about this life event...we are told how important journal entries are and I would hope that generations from now will see this and know what a wonderful wife, mother, grandmother, sister and most of all daughter of God that Nancy Hearn Booth was....our life on earth will never be the same without this beautiful woman, but what a comfort it is to know that she is pain free and happy reuniting with her loved ones and hopefully looking after all of us! I know without a shadow of a doubt that she is preparing wonderful things for her family....family was everything to Nancy. I can't say enough how blessed I was to have such an amazing mother-in-law. She treated me like part of the family from the minute I joined it and loved me and my girls....that meant more than anyone could ever know. Nancy was truly a one of kind human being....sweet, loving, nurturing....she touched EVERYONE she ever came in contact with...people from Walmart, her coworkers and customers ALL loved and adored her. I so enjoyed listening to their stories of their memories of Nancy. My favorite one was when someone told us that people would wait in her line even though it wasn't the fastest (because she loved talking to everyone!!) just so they could chat with her! She just might have been the funniest person I have ever met....her quick wit was amazing! And that is something she has passed on to her children!
While I know that we continue to struggle with the loss of this wonderful woman, what a blessing she was to all of us. I feel her presence around us and her influence is strong...I want to be a better person because of her, I want to be a better member of the church because of her, I want to be a better mom, a more patient mom...she truly was an example of how a person who loves Jesus should live....just like him. I loved Nancy with all my heart and I miss her. I am sad that Bodie will not be able to remember his Grammie...but I am so thankful that she was able to see him and hold him and talk to him all the time through Face Time. I'm thankful that we have the videos of her singing the frog song to him and playing the little horsey game.
I'm thankful that I am a part of her wonderful family.
Till we meet again sweet Nancy.
It was pouring rain on our way to the cemetery but let up while we were there....I think it was a sign!
