Aaron's Gramma Draper passed away yesterday. My mom was able to call his mission President to let Aaron know. As you can imagine how hard this must be on Aaron to have just left on his mission, having Gramma pass away and being away from family at this time. His mission President was so kind and let Aaron write a letter home.
Hey everyone,
I really hope that you got yesterdays email. I was told yesterday about Gramma. The president was sick so he was only able to talk to me over the phone. When they called for me to go to the front office I was pretty sure why they were calling me but I was hoping I was wrong.
It was pretty hard to hear over the phone but he did it in a really good way. He said that he would be here today so we could talk in person.
I will miss Gramma so very much. I do know that she was in the temple with me yesterday. She passed away right around the time that we were starting the session. I am very sad that she is gone but I am very happy that she can be with Grandpa and uncle Chris again. She will now be able to stop Grandpa from using that "C word" (CRAP) so much and spend the time that she lost with uncle Chris.
She was the best Gramma anyone could ever have. I did fast yesterday and I put her name in the prayer box. When we went to eat, guess what was for dinner... Papa Johns pizza, Gramma was probably telling me to go eat like she always did, I was definitely being tested. Although I found out about gramma before we ate, I decided to keep fasting anyway. I know this is a trial that I have to go through and I do wish that I could be there with all of you. However, I know that I am out here for a reason and I am happy that I can have Gramma with me all the time through out the next two years and the rest of my life.
The last couple days have been pretty rough, with emotions and that stuff, but I have a pretty great district and they have definitely helped me.
I know all of you will miss her very much but I hope you all are happy too. I am doing just fine.
I love Gramma with all my heart.
I will see you in 2 and don't worry about me... too much,
Aaron
