My Nana Little sadly past away yesterday, and the News saddened us all greatly. But she was Old and over the past few years had gone down hill fast. She was still our Nana but yesterday we could start to remember the happy friendly strong Nana that we know in the past.
She was in the flood in the 50s and as a Young mother she had to deal with things that night that many could only imagine. She had two small children and sat up all night watching the sea reach almost to the top step while the kids (my Mum and Uncle where sleeping and my grandad was out on a nights Fishing unawarer of the flooding that was taking place.
She told us about the time during the War she was out walking, she watched a barrage balloon past over her head and told how she was so frightened she ran home to find a safe place.
She also had some great sayings like the time I asked her if she was scared of ghosts and she replied ''It the living you need to be scared of not the dead''. Or when she was late for something she would say ''Better Late in this world than early in the next''
I chatted with my sister and we laughed saying that she'll be in heaven now arguing with my mum and moaning at Grandad, and telling mum about all the kids and hoping to watch the Snooker Later on TV (Loudly).
It great to look back on family and friends that have Died. in the Salvation Army we say they have been PROMOTED TO GLORY meaning dieing isn't the end but the beginning of eternity.
I believe Ill be there one day and hope many more of my friends and family will be to, a place where there is no hurt no worries and no End.
What ever Nana is Doing now I know she is back to the way she was when she mad us laugh and mad us chips anytime you wanted.
Remember Death is not the End its the beginning of forever, I know my Nana has conquered the Grave just as Jesus did all those many years ago. because the same Holy Spirit that was in Jesus is in Nana Little and amazingly in many of us today that makes us able unbeatable and more then Conquerors
