Goodbye Gram



Well after being in a nursing home for about two months and in the hospital twice during that time, Gram crossed the river Jordan yesterday, to be with Pap on his birthday. It has been really hard being 8 hours from home during all of this time, but I am grateful that I was able to see Gram over reading/Holy week. I am also blessed to have great friends and professors who have been a great support through all of this. Over this weekend I was upset at God's timing, and that all of this was happening over finals week, but now that I look at everything, I am very glad that this happened over finals, because all of my friends are still here. Starting tomorrow several of my friends from the dorm will be leaving to go home for the summer,so to have their support now has been amazing. My professors have also been great, allowing me to take finals early, and miss our final Sems concert on Friday. I will be sad not to see several friends graduate, but I need closure now, rather than in June. Thank you all for your prayers and support during this time. I will be going home Thursday morning, and the memorial service will be Friday afternoon. I cannot wait until I get to see Gram again on Canaan's shore along with Pap. I love you and will miss you.

In Resurrection Hope,
Erica

P.S. Sorry for all the Gospel music references, it comes from the song set for our Sems concert.
