Feeling sappy tonight....




I went to Grandma's guestbook because it will no longer be there after April 15th and got inspired to post to it just one more time. Here is a copy of what I posted:



Written just for Grandma Beulah:


My Grandma lived her life for love of friends and family, neither asking for nor wanting a return.
Her days became a sunlit homily, with others' joy her joy and main concern.
When we were ill, she also became sick, when we were cut, she, too, began to bleed.
Of our oil lamp she was the wick, drawing her bright flame from our need.
Some say that such behavior's out of date: that self-fulfillment is the way to grace.
But Grandma, without much choice, then chose her fate, finding greater truth in an embrace.She lives on in the sparkle in our eyes: Laughing, quiet, gentle, loving, wise.


We all sure miss you Gram. Words can't describe just how much you have meant to all of us. I'm so thankful that you are able to watch over us from Heaven..... Until we meet again as Angel's with our Lord.We love you more than words can say.

Eric & Jennifer, Miranda, Mykael & Nykolas Brown
