Gramma sent me letters in her beautiful handwriting almost every week in the 12 years I've lived away from home. They had clippings from the Stettler Paper, magazine recipes, Coffee News jokes, and inspirational quotes.
"Kindness is like snow–it beautifies everything it touches"
"Orlando man suspects burglar, calls police on Roomba"
"My horse's name is Mayo. Sometimes mayo neighs"
Her love and generosity were pure, and I was reminded of them every time I saw a sticker-covered letter on my doormat, no matter where in the world I was.
She lived with qualities the world needs more of;
Humility and humour,
Empathy and care,
Patience.
She was social, and she always had time for a visit. But she never liked being the centre of attention. In her passing, join me in celebrating her in the way she deserves but never would have appreciated:
by shining light on her beauty and
honoring how
she touched the lives of everyone around her
for better.
