vi

today i had the privilege of speaking to my wonderful 93.75 year old grandmother. if there is a teacher of gratitude... she is it. her friends are dying all around her, her family is far away and she has out lived her parents and all but one of (her youngest) siblings. every time i speak with her... she says how blessed she is. and it is true. although... i can't help but think of how lonely it must be to see everyone you love, leave you.

i am grateful for grandma vi and her amazing spirit and continuing ability to love.
