I Miss You Grandpa

June 25th 2015 I had heard that our receptionist at the office had lost her grandpa.  It is so sad to hear of any loss in our lives and for those of us who have gone through it know exactly what it's like, and that is why I always want to make a difference and hope that what I do will help them heal.

She was very close to her grandpa loved going with him to car shows in one of his classic cars that he owned.  

I made her a memory candle that is battery operated with a 5-hour timer and I placed one one my pennies inside.

When I gave it to her she had not heard about the pennies from heaven so I shared a few of my stories to her.  I also told her to pick a special time at night that she would like her candle to come on and that would be her special memory of her grandpa.

Later that night she posted this picture and message on Face Book:

I want to thank you again for the candle, it seriously made my day.  I am so blessed to have you as a friend.  The candle will be glowing by my bedside nightly.  You are truly amazing.

On July 23, 2015 our receptionist came into work and called me to come downstairs that she had something to share with me.  She said that on her way to work she stopped to put gas in her car and when she got back in she found this sitting on the dash, and she swears that it was not there when she got out of the car.

  But the most amazing part of this story is that it was her grandpa's birthday!!

 HAPPY BIRTHDAY GRANDPA.

When my friend finished reading my blog se sent me a message:

I just read your blog.  It's perfect.  Made me cry, not in a sad way though, just brought back memories.  My daughter came in and asked me why I was sad, I told her mom isn't sad just thinking of some great memories.  I had told her the penny story, she sat there for a minute and then said;

Mom, pennies are cool but maybe we should ask them to start leaving 20$ for us.  I am laughing so hard, to cute.

My friend has been having a really bad time lately, it has been several months since here grandpa has passed away.  The other day her dad came over to her house a delivered her grandpa's boat!!!  She could not believe it. 

She feels so blessed and to have this, and I know she will treasure it forever.

They are going to go camping this weekend - August 29th and take the boat, as she was cleaning she lifted up the seat in grandpas boat, and look what she found, she was so emotional.

Below is another penny she found on the carpet of the boat.  She had just got off the phone with her uncle and he reminded her that her grandpa used to call her his LUCKY PENNY.  She is all sorts of emotional right now.  HAPPY BOATING.....
