Today has been...one of those days. I have been running around getting things ready for the benefit. Today is my mom's birthday and she is 10 hours away in Virgina with family. Today is also the day my great grandmother passed away. At 2:15pm Lena Howerton left this life to join Drew. At the age of 95, she lived a full and courageous life. I always looked up to my great grandmother. When I was in elementary school I remember writing a report about her because she was such a strong and loving person. My grandmother has always told wonderful stories from her childhood, and my mom admires her beyond measure.
I was fortunate enough to Skype her over the past few days and speak to her for a few moments when we was strong enough to talk. She is such an inspiration to me. I miss her very much but have a small amount of comfort from the fact that she is with my precious little boy.
How grateful I am to have a strong, admirable, faithful example in my life. She is a beautiful daughter of God.
AMAZING. Wish you could share the report you wrote!
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you could connect with her before she passed. She sounds like a wonderful woman.
