Humbled......

"Death ends a life....not a relationship."

Robert Benchley


Unspeakable speaks:

Today I attended the funeral of my 2nd grandmother (my 2nd mother's mom). She embraced me and my daughter like we were her own and she never treated us any different than her own biological children. She consistently checked up on me when I was going through Cancer treatments. She enlisted her pastor and extended family to pray for me and my family without being asked. She would write me monthly and we shared a bond that could not be articulated verbally. She was for all intensive purposes, my grandmother. In my reflecting, I found myself humbled by the life that she led. This woman was amazing, and the outpouring of love and support that surfaced as a result of her passing was only a small part of the impact that she made in the lives of those around her. I only shared the last 15 years with her, but the gentle touch of her spirit, left an imprint on my soul that can never be erased.

I thank God daily for allowing me to see another day. But today I thank Him for allowing me to be apart of the lives of those that did not make it. There is no way that I would have made it through my journey without my family praying for and supporting me and I do not take that lightly. Relationships are what makes our lives worth living...First, your relationship with God, Secondly, your relationship with yourself and Thirdly, your relationship with your family. These relationships shape who you are as an individual. If you are determined to be great in life, take a look around you...look at those in your own family; celebrate and honor them while they are still alive, because you never know if they will make it to tomorrow.
