My grandmother on my father's side is a model of dedication. My Grandma Bev loves and serves others, listens patiently and sends more cards than anyone i have ever known- day after day. Now the days have piled into years, and the years have heaped up into decades. Persistent dedication to express love to those loved has amounted to a life of dedicated love and humble service.
I received an Easter card from my Grandma Bev this year. I think if i had kept them all over the years, there would probably be 30 cards... one for every year i have been alive! She is a card fiend; I am pretty sure Hallmark would go out of business without this woman. Whether its Easter, Christmas, my birthday... a card arrives from Grandma Bev. She blows my mind with her consistency and dedication simply to making her support and friendship remembered by those in the network of her care. She is a perpetual encouragement and consistent blessing in my life.
I could extol her virtues in many fields (not least her story telling when it comes to European travels long past, a personal favorite of mine:) but we'd be here for hours. Today it must suffice to say that I want to recognize and affirm the life and example of my grandmother- a model of dedicated love in the daily small things...small things that have heaped up into a great monument of love.
Thank you for the card, Grandma. And thank you for reading my blog:) I love you! xx
