Blog 3 - Autumn Courtney
so I am going to tell you guys a little story about me and my family. when i was a little girl i used to live with my grandparents. some of you knew that some of you didn't. some of you knew them and some of you didn't. but since you know there bomb.com granddaughter you can only imagine how wholehearted they both were. they were the most genuine people i knew. the most loyal. (they were married for over 65 years!) the kindest. the smartest. and the most God seeking people. they always counted on the lord and always trusted in him and that is one of the biggest life lessons that they ever taught me. to always keep my faith #1. they took care of me when my own momma couldn't. my dad as most of you know isn't really in the picture. and that is one hundred percent okay! I would rather have no dad than a dad who doesn't even wanna be one. but for the ones reading this throughout this summer he is almost hit a full recovery so he is literally fine. but back to my story my grandparents were literally everything. and i am not writing this blog for pity. trust me i do not want any of you to have sympathy for me. i mean that in the nicest/best possible way. but living without them kills me. they were both my true parents and not having them to go home to everyday really hurts. i dont have grandparents to go visit or hang out with or eat with or talk to on the phone with or see on Christmas day anymore. it destroys me inside. yes. Ive learned to live with it and there is not a single day that goes by that i do not think about them. i even had a breakdown TODAY! but it doesn't get any easier. if anything it gets harder! i guess my point in this blog is that you should always tell the people you love that you love them. life is TOO SHORT NOT TO! I love you guys so much.❤
Literally wanted to cry reading this because I have no idea what I would do without my grandparents. My mom and them have been my rock my whole life. They’ve shown me that keeping God first is the best thing you can ever do, and that having everything isn’t the key to a happy life. I have learned sooo many lessons from watching them over the years, and they have been there for me when I needed them most. Grandparents are a true gift from God. If only I could be half of what my grandparents are today. I strive to be the Godly people that they both are, and to be such hard working people. They have a true servants heart, just like your grandparents did! -lexi hall
ReplyDeleteMy grandparents meant so much to me and I know what it’s like to lose them. You’re a really sweet and strong girl, autumn! God gives us trials and it’s our choice on how we approach and accept them! remember to stay faithful to God and he will bless you with seeing them again! I completely agree, make sure you tell the ones you love, that you love them! you never know if it’s gonna be too late. Very well said Autumn!! stay strong and remember there is a reason for everything in this world! much love from me! -teressa
ReplyDeleteI literally cried in this. Because my grandparents are literally my best friends I could not imagine without them. I'm super sorry you have to experience that. I know it's not the same but my aunt Karen was super close and treated me like her grandchild until she finally had some. And I know what it's like losing someone. Im sure it's much different being as close as you were. -Grace Powell
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry to hear that Autumn, and I will pray for you. But, if it makes you feel any better, I know how you feel. I recently lost a grandparent that I was close to. Actually, now that I think about it, it was about five years ago. But, it only feels like it was not even a year ago. I still remember him riding his four-wheeler down to my house to talk to my mom and I. I remember he always had to bend down to walk in the house with his almost 7-foot height. He never hesitated to tell you what he thought. He'd say, "Looking a little chubby there, pal." Sweet memories. I miss him so much. -Heavyn Hadl
