My Grandmother

on Tuesday, June 2, 2009

I have been having a hard time dealing with my grandmother's illness the last
few days. She has been sick alot this year and I guess that's to be expected as she is 81 yrs old. I just can't imagine my life without her in it. I have always looked up to her and admired her strength through all the hard times she has been through. She has been the one constant in my life that I can always count on. I grew up with her and she has taught me so much,from dishes to gardening through her laughter and tears my grandmother has been there for me all these years. It may sound selfish of me I know but I am not ready to let her go. Last night Megan came in my room and found me crying, I tried to hide it but she is to smart for that. I explained to her that I had just spoken to her great grandmother on the phone from the hospital and that she had pnemonia and a fever,and that she had told me she had never been so sick.(I knew that must be really bad compared to the suffering that I know she has been through)but then she said don't worry about me I'll be alright(well of course I was still worried.) I told Megan we needed to pray for her,and we asked God to heal her.
This morning I called her and she said she was feeling alot better. I asked her if her fever was gone and she told me yes and then she made me smile and cry at the same time when she said "I told you I would be alright".
My grandmother, so strong so determined and so faithful to God.
I know that God healed her and our faith in him will keep us together, but I also know that we can't be together forever on earth but that we have a forever home together in heaven. God is awesome!

I will keep your grandmother in my prayers. What a beautiful writing from her granddaughter. She must be a very special lady.
