- gorgeous weather
- wearing a new outfit
- a hand-made card stuffed with Dove chocolate
- having almost the whole family together (missed you Grandpa)
- so many people extending their sympathies - a true testament to the impact of my grandfather
- friends who waited in long lines just for me
- sitting down after a long night of standing

- buds showing up on the tree outside our kitchen window
- dedicated moms who come weekly (and even early) to see how they can assist me

- sunshine on a cloudy day
- celebrating the life of my brother (he has a wonderful year ahead!)
- knowing that our beloved Grandpa was welcomed into the arms of Jesus
- supportive friends and colleagues
- loving husband who put all of his own needs aside to simply be with me
- "Now the dwelling of God is with men, and he will live with them. They will be his people, and God himself will be with them and be their God. He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away.” - Revelation 21:3-4
