Grandma's love.
Yesterday Keith and I went to his great aunt's memorial service. I didn't know her well, I had met her a few times. She was a sweet woman. The hospice minister who was with her during the last 13 months of her battle with cancer shared stories of her life that she had shared with him. One of them stuck in my head and brought tears to my eyes. He told of her going to Disneyland with her grandkids and riding one of the water rides there. Nobody could believe that this "proper" woman would do this. Then the minister said, "She loved her grandchildren so much she would enter their world." As soon as he said that a memory of my mom playing basketball with Renee, Rhonda, Nikki and Marcus (and me) popped into my head.(I have video of that day too) That quote could also be said of my mother. She loves her grandkids so much she enters their world. I believe they know that. Aunt Dawn loves them too.
