I wish I could be like…
I wish I could be like my Grandma because…
I’ve written a lot about my Granddaddy and my Mama, but my Grandma has also played a huge role in my life.
I’ve always admired her ability to make every stranger a friend. To speak her mind and never care what people say. As a kid, I saw her as someone that everyone liked. That made me want to be like her.
As an adult, it’s her strength that I admire.
The moher to seven kids and an alcoholic husband, I’m sure this wasn’t the life she dreamt of. Especially now, when she’s lost 2 kids and her husband to cancer.
She’s heldfast to her faith in God allowing him to see her through…
She’s seventy six years old and gets around better than some of her kids. She walks 5 miles a day and is quick to swing out a hip and cock a pose when she’s feeling fly.
I want to be like her when I grow up…
It’s true, I’ve heard so much about your granddaddy but nothing about your grandma, glad to hear she’s inspirational, too. That losing kids to cancer business just ain’t right.
Wow…my grandmother use to swing out a hip and cock a pose…I LOVE THIS..what a picture it paints….if you don’t mind I may use it next time someone asks me what my grandmother was like!
I just found your blog and can’t wait to read the entire thing! Leslie
