This is totally what I needed to read today. My sweet grandmother passed away a few Octobers ago, and I have the most tender memories of spending the last few days with her in intimate fellowship. And reading your post just reminded me so much of her. Thank you. Thanks so much! This is totally what I needed to read today.

I was inspired reading this story to not settle for a respectable life...to follow my dreams, yes, dreams that I know for certain God has given me, to try new things and let anyone who feels the need to stare, stare. Thanks for sharing this story...it really touched me!

As Lutherans though we aren't as much about the stained glass or statued saints, as we are about those Christians who came before us who made us into the faithful followers of Jesus Christ we are today, the people we think of as heroes of the faith who helped carry us to where we are today. Sounds like your Grandmother was just such a lady and your tribute to her made me think of what the pastor said to the children this morning. What a beautiful remembrance of her.

I am my grandmas child, we're just alike-the good and the bad. I fear the day she too will be gone from my life, but I know she'll be in a place far greater than here and I look forward to the day I don't have to fear being w/out her. very sweet.
