Set_Apart: What a Week

On Thursday morning, my Great Grandma Gwen passed away, so I went home again to be with my family for the funeral. Praise God that this time someone (who I love very much even though I don't know who it was) gave my family money to help pay for flights for my sister and I so I didn't have to make the 14 hour drive again after being in Minneapolis two days! I'm not sure I could have handled that 5 hour solo through Iowa again...those cornfields are mesmerizing. haha!

Coooorrrnn Fields

As with the memorial service for my friend Tim, my grandma's funeral was mostly joyful and it was a relief that she is finally done fighting death. She was almost 97 years old and had been slowly declining for months, so it was definitely time for her to go. I am so blessed to have known this strong, wise woman and I'm glad I'll see her again in eternity. I have a ton more I could say about her, especially because she led me to Jesus when I was 10 years old, but I don't really have the energy to write it all down now, so her tribute will have to wait.

I stopped by the apartment for a few hours today, but most of the family was at school (yay!) or doctor appointments, so I thought I'd run out quick to a coffee shop to check email and update everything. But with how eventful days have been, I'm sure I'll have more stories to write down by tonight!
