Most of you think of singing or dancing or painting when I say talents right? Well... I want to focus on a very special talent that has blessed me my whole life. My Grandma Shirley is such an amazing woman. She is beautiful inside and out. I love to chat with her and soak up her love and wisdom. Well the other day after I left work I was heading home until I noticed that I was driving in the wrong direction. I was heading to Grandma's house. It had been a bad day for me and with Coop being gone for the week I really didn't want to be alone. So I pulled into the drive, walk in the side door and there she was. I didn't even have to say anything. She scooped me up in her warm loving arms and held me. It was like I was a little girl again. When I was little I could sit on her lap and listen to her read for hours. Being close to her made me feel safe. And there I was 26 years old and crying in her arms. I felt safe again. After I got hold of myself she took me in and set me down on the couch and then began to say all the things I needed to hear. I cried.... she comforted and my heart began to feel light again.
I love this woman for always being there for me. From holding me on her lap with a story book in hand to cheering me on at all my sports and dance competitions, to mending my broken heart. She has always been there to lift me up when I was down. God blessed us all by giving her the gift of compassion and love. And I am eternally grateful for that!
I love you with all my heart!
