Memories I have
You holding my hand
Crossing the street
Looking left and right
Counting acorns and
Pine cones on the ground
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Being together
Sitting at the table
Family, food, fun
Your presence was everything
We still share time
I talk to you every day
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Your love was
Kind, generous, understanding
You were fearless and wise
A gentle and quiet spirit
Beautifully made
Woman of God
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Your love is
Instrumental in who I am
But I am just
A splinter of who you were
Memories of you
Forever live in me
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

You know, writing about myself has always been a challenge. It's not that I'm unsure of who I am but rather I like people to discover me on their own. I will tell you this much - I'M REAL! I guess that's all you need to know for a first approach; stick around and you'll understand the power behind that statement. What I do is another story! I embrace life hoping to live my purpose as a mother, daughter, sister, confidante and friend; I laugh, cry, and support; I admire, like and love; I listen, read and write. Most importantly, I have faith and thank God for all of me. My intent is to inspire others using my gifts and "Don't Forget the Half" reminds me to cast nothing aside. Want to know more? Discover along with me as I live my life out loud.

Don't Forget the Half 
So sweet. I hope this is how my grandchildren remember me when I’ve passed on.

You’d be amazed by how much grandchildren love and admire their grandparents, even if it’s not spoken.

Mine died when I was young, so I never had that connection. Thanks for that.

Thank you and Congratulations! A grandmother’s love is so uniquely special and the bond you’ll have with your little one will be like no other. So glad my son had that with my mother.
