I think God knew that growing up, we as children need some extra and extraordinary love, so He gave us Grandmothers. I will miss Grandma, she and I didn't always agree, and I found that I didn't like it when she held me accountable for the things in my life that I knew to do better, yet she loved me enough to let me make mistakes. Beautiful, that's how Grandma saw all of her grandchildren, not what we were, but all we could be. I can't think of one person I would rather be with than my granddaughter, Kaylee. She is my joy, my love and my heartbeat. As I think of all the time I spent with my Grandma, I think she must have loved meusthe same way. Knowing how much I now love my own grandchildren, and how much I wish for them to have far more than they could ever dare to dream, or even imagine. It overwhelms me to know that I have lost someone that must have loved me that much too.Grandma, I know you are having the time of your life. Singing and dancing and praising our Father's name. I will try to pass on the fun and wonderful things and songs and values and morals that you taught us, even if we didn't want to learn them sometimes. I will always remember your songs, "Howdy do my Partner" and The Salvation Army has the right to beat the drum, the banjo, the tambourine to make the people come, Come join the Army and Get the gospel gun, and SHOOT it at the devil if you wanna see him run. One day we will join you in Heaven, remember we are all to meet at the "water" Fountain. lol. I'm Glad I'm a Salvation Soldier. Love, Becky Decatur, IL US
