For Grandma Great (1908-2008)

It's been awhile since I've heard your sweet little voice. It's been a long since I got a card from you in the mail telling me that you remembered me in some little way. It's been even longer since I heard your testimony and saw your frail form standing up tall, telling us what you knew and what we should try to learn for ourselves too. I remember hearing the news that you had left us, gone back to be with your eternal companion. The feeling was bittersweet. Grandma Great, the world is less without you around, but I'm grateful for the legacy you left behind. I'm proud to have your name. Love, McKenzie

i know what your feeling...

sometimes things work out in ways you haven't yet seen and you sometimes get chances to see and know again when you really need it , not just want it... but they are still there, i know it.

i hope all is well
