A part of all our lives is losing loved ones. This is what happened to my family this past week. I lost my first grandparent. I have been extremely blessed to have all of my grandparents for over 33 years. My grandfather was 85. He was a wonderful man and he will be greatly missed. This sadness did take a toll on my Project 365. I honestly did not feel much like taking pictures as I was mourning the loss of Grankin (my big sister named him this when she was just a toddler). But after time in prayer and the support of my family, I was comforted. Grankin lived a great life and I know he has gone on to his reward. I certainly wanted to include him in my project which records everyday life. I chose some pictures of Grankin and my boys to make a tribute page for him. I didn't get a photo for every single day of this past week, but I will let this tribute page count as the page for the whole week. I sometimes feel tempted to stop the project during difficult times, but I remember that my children will appreciate this album in years to come. My advice to all involved in this project - "Just keep going, even if you don't have a photo for every single day." and don't forget to hug the ones you love as much as you can!! :)
