I apologize for my absence the last couple of days.  It's with a heavy heart that I'm writing today.  One of the most important, influential, and spiritual people in my life passed away this weekend.  I am flooded with emotions, some happy, some sad but most of all I'm thankful that I was able to know this fine woman.


Granny may not be with us in body but she will always be with us in spirit.  Her stories, her smile, her generous heart, and her compassion for others will forever be remembered.  I can only hope to possess some of the same qualities she possessed and if I got some of her longevity genes, that wouldn't be such a bad thing either!  I miss her already but my heart smiles knowing she's with her Lord...and her poodles!

We don't know what tomorrow will bring, so live today for all it's worth.  Hug a little longer, smile a little bigger, and give a little more.  You'll be happier and so will those around you.
