The Beautiful ONes....

When I think of all the people I have met in my life time, when I think of all the conversations I have had or all the moments shared., I don't think I have met a more selfless person than my grandmother. My grandmother was the most kind-hearted woman I have ever met. So full of love, life, and compassion. She was so loving and giving. She opened her heart and home to every one. She shared everything. This woman didn't have a stingy bone in her body. She was always taking some one in or going down south to take care of an ailing aunt or sibling. If she had a dollar, she would give 99cents. She was such a strong and wise woman. She always knew the right things to say . She always knew what to do. She always knew what was needed. If I grow up to be half the woman she was, i would be grateful. My grandmother passed away in 1996, at the age of 87. I miss her so much. I am thankful to God, to have had the 21 years I had with her.... She has touched my life in ways that words cannot express. She has given me a blueprint of how we are supposed to lead our lives.... My grandmother was never judgemental, she was never selfish, she never put her self first. She taught me the importance of family! She taught me how to love....she taught me to be myself, no matter what anyone else thinks, she taught me to put my trust in God and not in man..... There are times when I call upon her guidance.....she was so very special to me.... Dana
