I can't believe that my Grandma has already been gone 10 years. I still think of her often. She was such a strong-willed, independent woman, who embraced everything life handed her. She dealt with so many challenges and obstacles in her life, yet she was always in a carefree mood. Now that I am married with my own children I have a new found respect for her. I cannot imagine the pain she went through when she said good-bye to her oldest son or the emptiness she may have felt living without her husband for so many years.
I hope that my daughter Lyla Anne, named after my grandma, will grow up to be as strong-willed and independent as my grandma was. I hope that she has the courage to deal with life without letting life get her down. I hope someday she understands that she was named after a pretty amazing woman. And I hope my grandma knows how much she is missed.
