Ed on Grandma, and the Circle of Life

You both were very eloquent about Grandma Strempke and since I can't say it any better than either of you I won't even try.  But she was a great woman, incredible in so many ways.  We are all so blessed to have had Grandmas for as long as we have, and to be so close to them and them to us. 

The circle of life is more visible to me than ever.  Everyone (including myself) is getting older.  As the saying goes "getting old is better than the alternative" but aging is best served gracefully and with sound mind, body and soul.  I hope that I can live almost all of my life with all my faculties, good mind and good health.  And then I want it to all go caput at the same time - after a long and fruitful life leaving the world better than it was.  The way Grandma Strempke did. 

I suspect everyone else wants the same.  God Bless You Grandma.  I have so much to thank you for in my life.
