i am a smart-ass
i love to travel
i dream of green hills
i know that striving for what’s right is what matters
i’m willing to listen
i sometimes even change my mind
i dream it, i see it, i get it done
i am the strong one
i understand that family is my responsibility, my sorrow, my joy and i embrace it all
i think that richard john tonita walks on water
i know he loves me. i know it in my bones
i believe and trust in god
i know when to hold and when to fold
i love my grandmother and will cherish her for all eternity
i am all these things because i am my grandmother’s grand daughter
she is with me always…
rest now dear one…
we will carry on…

I am connecting with my Grandma in the most special of ways. I am feeling the satisfaction of a life well lived. I feel her faith and her trust. I feel her appreciation. I feel the relief.
I am whispering in her ear… i love you grandma… god loves you… thank you for all that you are… and all that you bring to your living and loving. Thank you. I love you.
You can rest now… You can let go…
Be well dear one. Be well. Trust in god.
