My grandma (my last living grandparent) who I knew affectionately as Mamaw is now with Jesus. She passed away yesterday. I was her favorite (only) grandson and I always knew that if I ever needed sanctuary from anything or anyone in the world, I could find it at Mamaw’s. My heart is heavy. I will be flying from Xining to Beijing tomorrow. Then on from Beijing to Louisville, Kentucky so I can make her funeral on Thursday. I am traveling alone and will be leaving my family back here in Jianzha for 11 days. Please pray for them while I am gone. Pray that Christa will have strength to look after the girls without the help of family way out here. It’s very strange to be leaving one’s family in a foreign country like this, but I felt it was very important to say goodbye to Mamaw and to mourn her loss with my family in the States. I am thankful that Mamaw is now with Jesus and that she has been reunited with her husband Archie, my aunt Robin, and her other daughter Peggy. I will miss her greatly.
