300. Today I am grateful for a wonderful influence in my life

I am grateful for such a wonderful influence in my life. My Grandma passed away today. There aren't a lot of words that come to mind right now amidst the grief I feel. The first thing that came to mind after I had processed what had happened is the scripture found in ... "And her children shall rise up and call her blessed".

This may also seem selfish of me but I am also sad that I never did get married during her lifetime. For the past several years at the end of every phone call, Grandma would say "I will pray for you that you will find someone special ... by Christmas (of whatever year it was), you will be married". Also ever since I was a little girl I have wanted to name my first daughter Elisabeth, after my Grandma. She would have been so happy to know that she had a great granddaughter named after her.
