I had to stop a few times. But it was nice going down memory lane. Thanks for reading. It's true when they say, "they don't make 'em like they used to". We need more men like them.

Thank you for sharing your beautiful family with me, just for a little while. My grandma used to have those sayings too, and like you I didn't know what they meant until I got older. I would say, "Granny that just don't make no sense," and she would just smile and say "one day you'll understand". Good family is such a blessing and I admit that I sometimes take it for granted. I'm really glad we can appreciate those who have deeply touched our lives like our loved ones have. Maggie, I’m sitting in the airport with tears in my eyes as I read your message.

You gave such a detailed description of your grandfather and made me wish I'd known him. I'm know you and your Mom will miss him dearly, but I know that you both made him proud. I had a grandfather that passed a couple of years ago...he too was a man of a few words. He wasn't perfect, but what he did show us was a great work ethic that helped him provide for his family. He didn't know how to drive, but to get to work he'd just start walking. He knew that eventually someone would come along and give him a ride. My grandmother is now left living a fulfilled life.

"Earth has no sorrow, Heaven cannot heal." I am in aww, my mother birthday is June 8, and she passed Nov. 3, 1995. I was age 8, when my grandfathers passed, so I was not blessed to share such fund stories of my grandfather's. Although my mom passed in 1995, it is sometimes as though it was today or yesterday. My mom was a mother of 3, but the neighborhood mom of many. She was my best friend, my confidont, my doctor, my teacher but most of all, my mom. She loved to cook, loved to help people. When I was young, I would say mom, what are we going to eat if you keep feeding everybody? She would say God provides. I never knew what she meant until I become grown. Now I am able to see all the things she use to tell me. When my mother passed, I did not want to go on, although I had a husband and children, I just could not imagine life without my mom. It was devasting. So I know how you feel, having such a loss to occur. But one thing I have learned Anilia, is that God makes NO MISTAKES and He will make it bearable. When my mom use to say, God will not put no more on you, than you can bare. I never knew this meaning either, but I can say now, I do. It took a long time for me to come to grios with the death of my mom, but what is so amazing is my grandmother. She is 93 years old, she still works 2 days a week, she loves flowers, she has ferns that it takes 3 to 4 people to carry, but she does not use miracle grow, she sings, talks and prays over them. She is very active in church, still a Sunday School Teacher and holds many titles and positions within our church, but most of all she is a child of God. She had 2 daughters, my mom and my aunt. My aunt was dying from kidney failure, there was no Kidney machines back then, my mom was pregnant, I'm told and if I was a girl, name me after my aunt. So she did, she passed before I was born. She lived next door to my granny and my mom lived across the street from my granny. Ironically, both passed in the presence of my grandmother, many years apart. God has blessed her to still be in good health and going after the loss of her parents, daughters, sister, brothers and many more. She is an amazing woman of God, with great strengths from God. So when I look at her, I realize that if God can bless her to continue this journey of life after such great losses, I know He will bless me to do the same. So I say to you and your mom, stay encouraged. God will wipe away those tears ans heal your broken hearts. I am glad you got a chance to say, I love you. Some people never get this chance. May God continue to bless you and your family. If there is anything I can do, listen, laugh, cry or say an encouraging word. Please do not hesitate. I am here.
