71/365

Today was a sad day and a day to celebrate.  Our family and friends said goodbye to my G-dad in a memorial service to celebrate his wonderful life.  The service was held in the same church that my grandparents were married in 64 years ago.  I had the honor of reading a passage during the service... I get so nervous to speak in front of larges groups.  When my grandmother asked me if I would like to read, of course I said yes, but I was extremely nervous.  I feel like I sound nervous, look nervous and sometimes cry.  But, as I walked up to the podium, a calm came over me that I have never experienced before at times like this.  I do believe that my G-dad was there with me and let me know that I could do it and I had no reason to be nervous.  I will always remember this day and I am so happy that I was able to be a part of his celebration of life service. We will miss him dearly, but know that he is in heaven rejoicing with all the other angels!!
