She has been married twice.
First when she was 14 years old.
My first grandfather died of cancer at 44. Now that she has lived twice his life time she still talks about how much she misses him and loves him. She married again to the man that my mother would come to call father because she was the very youngest. In fact her older brothers and sisters had already moved out. This man was abusive and was murdered in a robbery by a friend of after being released from jail. Not much of a friend.
She is what comes to mind when I think of a strong woman. She has lost two husbands to death. Three of children passed on from diabetes, suicide, and cancer. She helped raise me and my brothers and sisters when my mom and dad were out making a living.
So, how can I apply this in my life?
As I am getting ready to leave school I realize that 88 years is short. This world is to big to try and live it in one place. Keep moving. Keep changing. Keep learning. Don't keep things to your self. Share and you will live forever. My grandmother shared with me. I will share what I have with others.
OK...back to advertising.
