I thought I would share something very special that has to do with my Grandma. She had been battling cancer for two years and one evening my mom's sister called and told her she needed to come to Ohio because my Grandma was in the hospital and the doctors said she didnt have much time left. My mom booked a flight for first thing in the morning. Then she and I went to the grocery store because she wanted to be sure there was enough food in the house while she was gone. On the way there I was talking about how I didnt want to see my grandma in a coffin. I wanted to remember her as the healthy vibrant person she once was. I was crying. My mom said that it was ok to feel that way.
When we came out of the store it was raining and there was no sun at all, but there above us in the sky was a bright rainbow. It gave me the feeling that God was telling me that everything was going to be okay. The way that he did for Noah when he put the rainbow in the sky after the great flood. I was a little comforted. At 5:30 in the morning my mom came in my room and woke me up to tell me that my Grandma had passed away. Then she had to get ready to leave for her flight. My dad and my older sister would fly out for the funeral the next day. I cried a lot after I got the news but I kept the thought of the rainbow in my mind.
From that moment on, whenever I look up in the sky and see a rainbow, I know it is my grandma saying hi from heaven. And that makes me smile. The pic above is one I took of one such rainbow. To me it is a symbol of hope and comfort that my grandma is always watching over me. :)
