My Grandmother, The Matriarch

Do you remember as a child how a Grandmother's love was just about the best there is? Her home was more fun, her food was more delicious and her hugs couldn't be beat. My feelings as an adult remain when it comes to my precious Gran-Gran. She is a true southern belle in every sense of the word and I appreciate her Godly wisdom and ways more now than ever.

We almost lost her Friday night. After a routine surgery, she crashed after being given too much pain medication. She is now off the ventilator and is doing so much better. I have been forced to recall so many memories of her and have enjoyed reliving the best part of my childhood. She has shaped my life in so many ways. Does she know this? I sure hope so, but in case she doesn't, I will tell her today.

Give those you love a big hug and let them know what they mean to you. And, call your Grandmother.
