Encouraging words of wisdom

“Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres...

And now these three remain: faith, hope, and love.

But the greatest of these is love.”

—Bible (I Corinthians 13:4-7, 13)

I say goodbye to my grandmother Ora Lee.

     On June 14, 2012 the Widow Ora Lee Moore passed away in her sleep at eighty-four years old.  She was my grandmother and the most amazing woman I've ever known.  There's such a void in my heart right now.  She loved her family so and was so loved because of it.  She always made all of her grandchildren feel special and loved no matter what.
     I'm trying to think of her not suffering, and having no more pain; so I can let her go.  I want to believe that she's in a much better place.  I'm not that selfless.  If I could I would make her come back and talk to me late at night when I can't sleep, laugh at all the silly things I do, tell her some what funny jokes, and watch endless hours of the cooking show.  I would do them without complaining.  In fact I would do them all with a smile on my face.  Instead all I have right now is endless tears and a heart filled with pain.
     She was the rock that held our family together and most of the time the reason why we all got together.  She had a way of making you feel loved and taken care of.  My grandmother was the best cook in the world.  I'm going to really miss all the cakes, pies, and the pig feet (that would melt in your mouth).  With her passing we lost a complete generation of elders and I no longer have any living grandparents.  I helped to take care of her and I wasn't prepared for her passing.  It is with so much sadness that I say goodbye to you, Ora Lee.
