It was a happy time, it was a sad time, it was expected, it was a surprise, she was closer than ever, she was further away than ever, it was a pain-free time, it was a painful time, it was a common occurrence, it was an uncommon pain, we were stronger than before, we were weaker than we thought, it was a perfect destination, it was an imperfect journey --
My grandma was one amazing woman. She didn't have a feather bed, but we loved going to her house anyways. I was her after-school-buddy and I would walk to her house during elementary school and we'd drink a coke and eat a snickers. It's funny. I was eating a snickers the other day and drinking a coke and I had this flashback. I could seriously hear my grandma saying "McKinley you'll spoil your dinner!" But never stopping me from eating one. Man I loved her. I would do my homework sitting in her wheelchair and she would either help me or watch Days of Our Lives. She was an amazing woman. If she could have been on any TV show it would have been either a soap opera or Wheel of Fortune. I think if there's any person in the world I would like to be like, it would be my mom and my grandma because they are pure resembles of each other. I think at least once every day I see my grandma in my mother. They are two amazing women. Every day I thank my Lord for blessing me with such amazing mentors in my life. I love them. This verse specifically comes to my mind from my 5th grade Wednesday night class: Beauty in God's Eyes
Proverbs 31:30
Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting; but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised.
My grandmother and my mother will always be praised.
