Heroes

I had a great couple of hours with my friends and family over the weekend and hopefully it will be enough to get me through until I can see them again. I was also able to get some new medication while I was away. I'm not sure yet if it is helping mainly because I have been feeling sick all this week. I took one day off work and rested the entire day which helped a little.
This past week or so I have been thinking a lot about my grandma. She is a wonderful woman and one of my biggest heroes in life. (Grandma, I hope that you are reading this because you need to know how much you change people's lives.) I have always looked up to her and to my grandpa for the way that they have opened their lives and their home to save so many children. The past few years have been incredibly difficult for our family but you would never know it by her attitude. She is one of the most genuine people that I have ever met and if I have any of the same gifts as her, I hope that I will be able to touch lives the way that she has. While I was thinking about her the other night I decided to write down what she has meant to me and to hundreds of other people.

Astounding ... Beautiful ... Compassionate ... Driven ... Example ...

Faithful ... Godly ... Heroic ... Inspiring ... Joyous ... Kind ...

Loving ... Motherly ... Noble ... Open ... Peaceful ... Quiet ...

Respected ... Special ... True ... Unshakeable ... Vibrant ...

Wonderful ... X-traordinary ... Youthful ... Zealous

Isn't this how every person should want to be thought of? I know that she has never asked for recognition or wanted to be the focus but people should get the chance to see how much of a difference they have made. Grandma, I love you!
