Sh...This is a wonderful tribute to my grandmother. She truly was a wise, faithful, virtuous, and selfless woman. What I remember most is how she insisted on comforting and praying for so many even in her darkest hours. There would be times when I would call her and I knew she wasn't feeling well. I'd ask "How are you Grandma" and she'd always reply "oh...I won't complain." She would then insist on hearing about me, about my day, my dating adventures and fiascos, and endless complaints about my job. She would always assure me that she was praying that I get "all the desires of my heart" and I knew that was true. <br /><br />I couldn't understand how she could continue to pray for so many others even in the midst of her own suffering. I eventually realized that praying for others (her family, spiritual daughters, friends, church family, and strangers) brought her immense joy and peace. We were so blessed to have such an awesome woman of God in our lives. A woman who loved us wholeheartedly and was always there with open arms and soothing words (her own words and the word of God). I’ve always joked that I was her favorite grandchild but I knew that wasn’t true… she had no favorites. She just had the desire and ability to make her loved ones feel so admired, so important, and so loved that you couldn’t help but believe that you were favored. And we were favored… we were highly favored by God when he put her in our lives. <br /><br />Grandma spoke of you often and when I finally met you I understood why she cared for you so much. You clearly had a very special relationship with her and I thank you for honoring her with your memories, insight, and loving words.
