Today playing with my ggbabies, the tears began to fall. My sister and I would FaceTime so that I could see her play with Grace. She always showed me how much Grace appreciated the gifts that I gave to her. She would show me Grace climbing all over her and laying on her. She loved her grands and her only regret was that her great grand lived in Atlanta. At anytime you go to her house, her grands lay in bed with her talking, laughing and listening to her wisdom. Her grands are blessed to have those memories. Many times her body ached with pain but she found peace in being with them. Pay attention to your family, be aware of what brings them joy and flood them with that. She made sure they were competitive in their learning.
She and I often bragged about our blessed gbabies. Nando, she loved you too, with all of her heart. He was her legs when she wanted sweets. When we would travel together she just gave him her card and he would go shopping, he would order his room service and hers.
Now my sister, I am doing more than I have before. I will try to spend more time with mine who live so far away.
Many times, I asked you if it was too much keeping Grace everyday, immediately, you would answer “no I live to be with her, playing an important role in her life. You would say, I am sick not handicapped.” Sis, thank you for showing me what is important in this life. Grace will forever have these memories. All of them will have you in their hearts.
They will never be like me, saying, “I never knew either of my grandmas and only one of my grandpas”
I am loving this time with my grands.
I miss and ❤️ you forever.
Your earth wingman.
Watch over us all. Your new wings are forever.
