An Angel Wiped My Tears Away

I can't bring your body back, but I can keep your spirit alive

When I heard that you had left Earth and joined God in Heaven my eyes so badly wanted to shed tears of sorrow and pain from already missing you. But at the same time part of me smiled and my heart was warmed. I knew you were ready and it pained me to hear that in your voice but I am comforted in knowing that you are new once again. Thinking back on all our cherished moments together make me smile. Every memory we made together is one I'll always cherish. From being your first... great grandchild, to golfing, to playing cards and watching Family Feud together. Just your presence made me smile. Knowing that until we meet again I won't be able to give you a big kiss on the cheek, or give you one of my bear hugs makes me sad. But everyday I'll carry you in my heart. Through the good times and the bad, we're not really too far apart. I love you GeGe

So yesterday I stood by my entire family and we said our goodbyes to you, for now, not always. We said what we will miss most about you, what we love about you and all things in between. When I got up to you and it was my turn, for the first time in a long time, a tear formed in my eye. Not many things bring me to tears but saying those words to you and seeing you up close made me realize that it wasn't one big bad nightmare, it's reality now. I'll have to live without my biggest rummy opponent and hole in one scorer for the rest of my time here on Earth. You won't get to be here when I graduate college, or get married, or have your first great-great grandchild, and while that pains me to know you won't be here in person I know you'll always be here in spirit. These past couple of days have been so painful for my family and friends but throughout these two days everytime I walked back into the room to see your beautiful face once again I didn't feel alone. I felt an arm around my shoulder and a kiss upon my cheek and I knew it was you. The last time I saw you, leaving you was so hard. You had looked deep in my eyes and you told me so many things that warmed my heart. You told me your always be praying for me and my family and I smiled so big on the inside and out. Nothing will be the same without you and it'll always hurt but you have blessed me with such an amazing family that I know we will all be okay. And be able to walk our days with you by our sides. I am honored to forever be your first great-grandchild and you will always hold a hugs place in my heart. I love you GeGe

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
