What have I learned from my Grandma?

To Love.
To show my grandchildren and great grandchildren and great-great grandchildren that I love them. I learned to be there at family gatherings to be with my family, to do insignificant little things like play poker with them, just sit and watch the little grandchildren play, and to patiently listen to the "older" ones say dumb jokes but still laugh at them anyway. To be able to tell stories of my past to give them an insight into my past life. To teach them to be there for me when I grow old and to ask them not hurt when I'm called to Heaven.

I loved my Grandma to the fullest, I wouldn't have changed her for no other Grandma.

Thank you my Lord for everything. Thank you again for everything you give us AND for everything you take away.
