Grandma Ozzie




I found this picture of Logan sitting in my Grandma Ozzie's rocking chair yesterday. Logan wasn't able to meet his Great-Grandma Ozzie because in January 2005, she lost her 10 month battle with leukemia and went home to be with her Savior, Jesus Christ.

My Grandma Ozzie was one of the most inspirational people in my life. She taught me to always put God first. She was a strong Christian woman who lived her life for her Savior. Even when she was sick and in the hospital she would tell us all that "God has a plan and He makes no mistakes."

The hardest part for me is that she never got to hold my precious son. She passed when I was 5 months pregnant. I am, however, very thankful that before she went home to be with Jesus she knew I was pregnant, knew I was having a boy and knew that his name was Logan.

I was just telling Logan yesterday about his Grandma Ozzie and how if she were here, she would love him to pieces and make such a fuss over him. I look forward to telling Logan stories about his Great-Grandma Ozzie when he gets older.

I miss my Grandma but know that she will always be close to my heart and that one day I will see her again in heaven.

He's so cute!!!! He looks just like you!

I'm so sorry about your Grandma, I didn't know. I know the hurt of losing someone though, and hate to see anyone feel it, even though it's a part of life we must deal with unfortunately. Love you much sis!
