Her Life's Legacy


Today marks one year since my dear Granny passed away from a stroke in Oklahoma City.

Don't forget.
Don't forget her laughter.
Don't forget her intense love.
Don't forget how proud she was of you.
Don't forget how forgiving she was of everyone.
Don't forget how she couldn't say no to anyone who needed help.
Don't forget how she would do ANYTHING she could for ANYONE.
Don't forget that she gave anything to everyone else, even more than she had or could afford at the time.
Don't forget how she held on until everyone could come see her one last time.
Don't forget the way she was before.


I could never forget her, but these are some things I definitely don't want to forget.

I love you Granny, always! I'm rejoicing that you are free from pain and frustrations. I'm rejoicing that you are with our Father joking with Him in Heaven!!!! I hope your cordless phone's working! :)

You'll never forget things like her laughter, intense love, ways of forgiveness, generosity, etc because all of those things are wrapped up in you, and you are the same way. :)

I think I'm about to cry now. Thanks, Barnes :) But I won't because I know both of our grandmas are in Heaven, seeing our Maker's face, and they wouldn't want us to cry for them down here.... :o)
