A very special Grandmother

Today, I write to honor my grandmother who passed yesterday. There are people who are truly angels in our lives. My grandmother was one. She lived a life with hardships, growing up in the depression without a father. She was raised by a mother with ten children. I am so blessed to be part of this family. Strength, character, humor, love, dedication, honor and above all a dedication to family. She lived her life strongly rooted to life, grounded and sturdy, steadfast and loving. She was compassionate and giving. She made life look so easy. There was a time and place for everything. She lived life with joy and laughter, appreciation and gratitude. She gave of herself lovingly. At times she felt as much like a mom as a grandma. Thats just how she was. All of these words seem so empty next to the depth of meaning and truth behind each one. This is not verbose but so very heartfelt.

She was and will always be one of my greatest blessings. Grandma I will honor you. I love you.
