My Monday Hero ~ Grandmothers!

Grandmothers the world over are always heroes. We love them, we look forward to seeing them, and they spoil us constantly! Not to mention that when we're the mother in between the child and the grandma, what a wonderful sight to see, when our own child's grandmother enters the room!  


I was blessed to have two of the most awesome grandmothers throughout my childhood and into adulthood. Longevity is the name of the game for the women in my family! Indeed, my father's mother lived to nearly her 97th birthday, passing from this life in late 1996. It was always easy to remember how old she was because she was born in 1900. Pretty cool, eh?

This week's Monday Hero is a tribute to all those generations of grandmothers ~ on Earth and in Heaven ~ those who are now in our lives and those who have already passed this way and have reunited with their own ancestry of grandmothers. 


Let's think about our grandmothers today and throughout the week. Let us contemplate our love for them and theirs for us. Let us ponder about what we are doing with their names and the legacies they have left to us. Let us pull their spirits unto ourselves and share with those around us. Let us do those things we know they would be proud to see, as if they truly are watching over us. And perhaps this is a good time to write that letter we wish we would have sent, say those things we meant to say, and express the undying affection, devotion, love, and tenderness we feel for our grandmothers.


Please. . .tell us about your grandmothers. . .teach us what this incredible and awesome woman in your life has meant to you. Touch our hearts with your stories.


Over the next two weeks, I will highlight each of my extraordinary grandmothers and the legacy they have left for me; a legacy which I can only hope to leave for my own grandchildren.
