Brothers blog

My brother Shawn wrote this and I so agree with everything he says even the part about all i have ever know is 3 grandmas and never knew it was not normal. I thought it was neat and wanted to share.

From Shawn Blog:
Bette Fisher Null
This morning I received an email from my cousin that my "step" grandmother had passed away.
Null, Bette Fisher, 84, licensed practical nurse, died Saturday in Sapulpa. Memorial service 11 a.m. Monday, First United Methodist Church. Moore's Southlawn.
Every time someone dies, naturally the tendency is to think about our own life, death and memory. It's sad to see such a great life reduced to 2 sentences. I guess the reality is that a great life is eventually reduced to DIRT! Obviously as a Christian I realize there is so much more to live for and such a greater purpose and meaning then 2 sentences and "back to dirt".
Grandma Bette was a super sweet lady! I always remember her smiling, hugging and kissing us. She always had all kinds of goodies for us grandkids everytime we went to visit. Looking back, I know it was hard for my mom, and father-in-laws are sometimes a challenge for the son-in-law, but it never seemed wierd back then. My parents always put on a good face and visited both grandparents often. I guess I'm blessed, because they all tried to make the best out of a not so perfect situation for us grandkids. The truth is that I grew up for a time thinking 3 grandmas was normal and didn't really understand or know what was going on. No one really talked about it. I guess my grandmothers cared too much for us to involve us in it and my parents protected us from any problems. In the end, I'm really thankful for having known grandma Bette, because she was such a kind and loving grandmother.

Something I will miss...

something I will miss will be a bracelet that my brother (Shawn) bought for me from one of his kids in his youth group. Shawn and Mason picked it out just for me with the colors i loved. I put it on after i got in Mexico in November and never took it off. It broke today and I cried. It was something special to me. It meant alot to me. It was something he picked for me bought for me and then tied in on my wrist. It came from his heart and he was thinking of me. It meant alot that he could get that for me and meant so much that he cared about me. I love my brother and his family. He has the best kids and greatest wife. They are far away but close to my heart. They are serving the Lord in Mexico. It is hard at times having them so far away from the family but I know they are doing good work. This bracelet meant alot thanks so much for thinking of me. Love you Shawn and your family!
