Visit with my hero

An annual summer trip to visit Grandma Leota was postponed til November this year. Our visits are filled with shared stories and a review of family history that never ceases to interest me. I'm so very fortunate to have our very own historian through the eyes of a very observant 95 year old. Grandma has seen much in all her years but doesn't seem to have adapted any "crabbiness" and narrow focused opinions that often are a part of many seniors thought processes. Gma has had to adapt to many changes in her life and is quick to say, "if you can't adapt to change, you're going to have a difficult life".

Leota is a great friend, a wonderful listener who shows genuine interest in what people have to say, and she has a rare curiosity about life.....


I always learn so much from just being with her. Life's lessons that I could never have access to without her. She's my hero and all that I could hope to be....

SPECIAL DAY

IT'S ALMOST BIRTHDAY TIME FOR A SPECIAL MAN IN MY LIFE.....HIS BIRTHDAY WILL FOREVER BE A SPECIAL TIME IN MY LIFE....
