one hundred

Today would be my grandmother's 100th birthday, she has been gone from this world for three years next month.  She was strength, she was steadfast, she was determination, she was a rock for me.  She taught me the importance of connection between past and present, she taught me accepting faith.  She had reverence for nature; she was proud, but she walked in humility.  I look to her memory still, when I need strength, when I need perspective, when I need comfort and she is always there.


With so much gratitude,
Joanna
