I know we joke at some of the ways Grandma showed us her love, but, God bless her, she did her best. I'm glad I had the opportunity to visit her during her few last years, and have pictures of her on my dresser. We will meet again, God willing! <BR/>Gail, Thank you, yes, I feel his calling, I will do everything in my power to climb to Glory, as long as "Our Father" is there to lead the way.<BR/><BR/>As we Catholics say; "Thanks be to God"Melhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09182682229829890445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6800596209962945804.post-39252070597406221642009-01-06T20:31:00.000-05:002009-01-06T20:31:00.000-05:00You are strong and God is guiding you!You are strong and God is guiding you!Gailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04219479223227928561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6800596209962945804.post-57268552590417181662009-01-06T11:32:00.000-05:002009-01-06T11:32:00.000-05:00Now that I have stepped away to compose myself I t...Now that I have stepped away to compose myself I think I can type. You had me in tears! <BR/><BR/>Tears of remembering. Oh yes, I remember those weekends or summers at grandma's and going to church. On occasion she did go with us. Oh gosh you remember Mel we would be so excited to go and it was always the best when we were there together. <BR/><BR/>Tears of sadness. I remember the verbal, mental, and physical abuse. How we wanted nothing more than to escape. Maybe that is why we spent a lot of time at grandpa and grandma's to get to a place where we could be a kid. Then as we grew instead of turning to our grandparents we turned to others out of love that in time did the same in one way or another as our parents.<BR/><BR/>Tears of sorrow. For the lost childhood that we never really had. We had to grow up too fast. <BR/><BR/>But think about it Mel and when you go today to tell of the past remember that past is what brought you to the person you are today. A strong person! A person with a good heart! A caring person! <BR/><BR/>Be proud of who you are today because you have been a good wife and mother. Be proud of the child you were because that child was innocent, sweet, and caring and you had enough heart within you not to give up.<BR/><BR/>Go tell of the past and then put it into the past. As you tell it feel me next to you with my arms wrapped around you.<BR/><BR/>Love Ya Cuz :)Vickiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05320606529948668159noreply@blogger.com
