“Skip is 1. My grandma is 93. The youngest of her grandchildren, I never thought I’d see her going on a walk with my youngest child. That he would walk up and ask her. That he would be born in a home she lived in. But here we are. These boys of mine getting to meet the incredible human who shaped me.”
“She could be the mother who never had her own children but rose to the challenge of raising another woman’s. That’s the woman warrior love of motherhood.”
“‘She’s more beautiful than ever. Doesn’t she look so pretty?’ he’d say. After multiple strokes and as her body few frail and weak, he continued to tell her how beautiful she was EVERY single day. They would have been married 60 years next month, and yet, 60 years still wouldn’t have been enough.”
“Through it all I get to know that I was, and still am, loved, by that very same ‘hell of a guy’. Then. Now. Always.”
“She NEVER bites him, ever. It just blew me away.”
“He is grandma’s joy and crown and we love him.”
“My dad taught me no one is ever too big or too bad to love and people do change.”
The look on his face when he spots her coming toward him is both heartbreaking and joyful.
“‘You did your good deed for the day!’ Really, it was her sweet words and warmth that touched my heart.”
