Oh wow! I didn’t realize until the end this was a wonderful tribute to your grandmother! My father was born two years before her in 1903. He lived until his 90s and we all love to listen to his stories and tails. He sired me when he was 50, and my younger brother came into this world two years and six years later.
Thank you so much I appreciate your gift of writing this morning and bring him back so many fabulous memories.
This is a lovely tribute, Deb. Then I rabbit trailed over to your family’s life story. Wow. You put everything together so beautifully. That’s the trip your family took to UK in 1976, right? Now I understand the urgency of that and the importance of leaving THE WALTONS behind, briefly, to make family memories forever. Thanks for the reminder that grace and forgiveness are important gifts from our Heavenly Father’s everlasting arms, never to be taken lightly. He hears and He heals all of our cares and hurts in His perfect timing. Thank you for sharing. Much love from Ecuador, Ned OX
