Granny What

If there is one relative in my life that means the most to me it would be my Granny What. This is my mothers mom....my granny. Someone whom I love very much. It was about a week ago that I got a call from my family that she had fell at her apartment, the sad part about it is that she was there several hours before anyone found her. Since then its been an up and down roller coaster ride, one day she is fine the next day it seems the worse is going to happen. I am sure that it doesnt help when the info is coming from my mom...Bless her heart, but my mom has a way of looking at all situations as "this is bad".

My granny is 92 years old and has been trucking along on her own with 4 kids for well over 60 plus years. My grandfather whom I have never met, well I did however I was only several months old. He past on when I was about 18 months. My granny never talks about him, and from the stuff people tell me its probably for the best that I dont know.

There is a moral here somewhere for me....it simple states that maybe I didnt have any really good father(male) figures in my life at least I had some awesome women to encourage me.....my granmothers, my mom, and my wife(i would not be blogging if it wasnt for Brenda)....

Anyways back to my granny.....she is the true meaning of Love and Patience. She raised 4 kids, worked several jobs to support her kids with no other financial help, took care of the house, and get this almost never..and I mean never lost het patience. I have never seen her angry, even after spending almost two whole weeks with my 3 highly active children...maybe when I get frustrated I should and think what would granny do.

For as long as I can remember she has been doing journals..writing down her thoughts for the day...everyday, and I mean everyday. Wow....I mean I have a hard time even praying to God for 30 seconds and I am sure that she spends a minimum of one hour everyday writing. I guess it has been close to 30 years that she has been doing it....I can only imagine how many books of thoughts she has filled up.

I want to continue, however I am getting a little upset I just wanted to share a little about my family...

Thanks for reading....actually it feels good just to write and get it out of my head...
