Rest In Peace granny Vi

Before this day officially ends I want to pay tribute to a wonderful woman who spent her life guiding children, including me. My grandmother, Violet Wiltshire, was a teacher before becoming a mother and then grandmother to my brother and I. She was really more like my mother than grandma. I knew who my mom was but I had the advantage of being raised by her. Today, May 24th, is her birthday. Usually I go to the graveyard to replant the African violets I planted years ago, but this year it wasn't possible. So this year I've decided to write. I miss her so much. It always seemed that no matter what she always had all the answers to life's quandries. It saddens me that she didn't live long enough to meet any of her great-grandchildren. She would have loved them all. But when I sit with my daughter, i sense she is infused with the inner peace and suspect she will carry the grace my grandmother possessed. At least I hope she will.
Rest in peace grandma.
