THE GUYS, Graham and Thomas: We’ve been blessed to get so much time with her. -And she’s still hanging in! She has defied dire predictions in the past. ~Hoping she can do it again…

Bartolomo: I’m glad you enjoyed the article too! What an interesting premise: that we humans are better built for long distance running than horses!

Mark: She watched my kids for several years while I did video/audio work, so all three of my kids have had the benefit of extended time with their great-grandma.

Nancy: Good idea. She loves telling and hearing stories about her family. Thanks for the kind wishes and prayers, JJ.

Rainfield: The desire to see around the next corner is a great motivator. The heart can sustain the body beyond its normal capacity.

Doug: The blessing has been that we have necessarily spent a lot more time with both grandmas in these later years. The relationships deepened in some beautiful ways.

Fly Girl: Thank you. Grandma has never been easily intimidated. Her desire to see and do has always outweighed any trepidations.

Suzanne: Endings are inevitable but never routine. I love that my children have so many fun memories of both their great-grandmothers.

Donald: So true. Memories can be so painful in the beginning. They remind you of what you’ve lost. But with time, they begin reminding you instead of how you’ve been blessed.

Vanessa: Gratitude takes you from simply getting through each day to really living and enjoying your life! We find what we look for.

Susanne: Thank you. We’ve had to deal with several deaths in the past few years. I think we’ve learned that, while we can’t ever avoid them, we can choose to focus on what is meaningful and more fully enjoy what remains.
