<\/p>\nMy grandmother passed away last week. I wish I had pictures to share online of when she was younger. She was a beautiful and amazing woman. She loved all of us fiercely and I considered her one of my closest friends. She will be missed.

\nMy grandmother unfortunately developed a form of dementia about three years ago. She was very close to death then, but miraculously rebounded. This is a song (just lyrics) I wrote back then, when we thought she was passing on…<\/p>\n
Welcome Home They took me to a place full of warmth and light, (chorus) I grew up and fell into the arms of my beloved We purchased a small place, (chorus)<\/p>\n \n(Bridge) I died, and was greeted by the arms of my Savior.

\n<\/strong>I was born and placed in the loving arms of my mother.
\nWrapped up tight with tender care.
\nDaddy raised his hands to the sky ,
\nAnd said "Thank you Father, for blessing us with this child here".<\/p>\n
\nA place where joy resides,
\nFull of family and friends,
\nIt’s where life begins,
\nI could hear them say, "Welcome Home".<\/p>\n
\nWelcome home, welcome home
\nWe’re so glad that you are home.
\nWe’ve been waiting for you for so long.
\nYou are welcomed you are loved,
\nSent from heaven above,
\nWe are here to say ,"Welcome Home".<\/p>\n
\nWe became a married pair.
\nWe spoke promises to one another,
\n‘Til death do us part, we’d be there.<\/p>\n
\nFull of warmth and light,
\nA place where love resides,
\nTiny feet came running in at school’s day end,
\nThey could hear us say, "welcome home."<\/p>\n
\nSeasons change throughout the years,
\nBringing new life and hope.
\nAlthough our seasons come to an end,
\nIn Christ, we are reborn.<\/p>\n
\nMy flesh and soul lay bare.
\nHe looked at my life, and He gave me smile, and said,
\n"Child, you have served me well."
\nHe took me to a place full of warmth and light,
\nA place where peace resides.
\nFull of family and friends,
\nIt’s where new life begins,
\nI could hear Him say, "Welcome Home."<\/p>\n
\nI’m so glad that you are home.
\nI’ve been waiting for you for so long.
\nYou are welcomed, you are loved,
\nYou are my precious one,
\nI am here to say, ‘Welcome Home’."\n<\/p>\n
