Dear God,

Early this morning I drove the back road to Walmart.  A country road where cows grazed, flowers danced in the wind and a foggy mist rose above the warm ground, a precious memory came to me.  I thought of my grandmother's farm home with a truck patch garden big enough to feed a whole town.  

My grandmother was my greatest role model in my young life for faith, unconditional love and compassion.  I still remember her loving eyes, kind smile and her spotted hands that always made our favorite desserts when we visited.  Her faith was so real so much so that it was like Jesus lived in her house.  Her love filled the space where she lived so that when we walked into that space, we could not help but breathe in that love for ourselves.  I love her so much and still miss her after nearly 40 years.  

Thank you

for Grandma Hughes,

dear God,

one of

your precious children.

Thank you

for every gift

she offered

to every person

she knew.

Thank you

for the

sweet memory today.

Love, Andrea
