I wrote a blog about this precious lady today entitled Grandma's Apron. There is hardly a day that goes by, even after all these years that I don't miss my Grandmother.
GRANDMA NEFF I had no way of knowing That day I left your room You heard His Voice calling Your time was coming soon. I begged you not to go that day I wanted you to stay You said to me I’m tired my child Please don’t act that way. I felt the tears Roll down my cheeks I held on to your hand You smiled at me and said It’s time to take a stand. I’ve always been there for you It’s time for me to go Just remember what I taught you You’ll reap just what You sow. I can’t believe it’s been so long Since I said good-bye to you There’s not a day That I don’t hear You tell me what to do. You taught me long ago To be the kind of friend To turn the other cheek And know that I depend On all the prayers you shared with me The nights when you were there Beside my bed and kissing me And praying on your knee.

Katt, this is so wonderful. Made me cry. I miss my mum. She was tired too. Dang. It's not fair that they have to leave. Maybe we'll understand when it's our turn.
