the best gem-cancer cusp woman i've ever known.

she was kind to everyone she came in contact with. her loving nature was like no other i've ever known. never biased or predjudice, she cared for everyone equally. she didn't scald you for your flaws, she accepted them and taught you to be aware of them, work on them through leading by example. she still had her freedom-loving nature and encouraged you to do the same and that dreams were always possible if you worked for/towards them. nothing was ever too small and you could accomplish anything, no matter your background. she would teach through stories of her past... wonderful stories from everyday life to travels around the country. she taught me what life could be like if i just kept the golden-rule and that i don't have to be the product of my parents crappy parenting. she taught me that i could be loved and deserved it as much as anyone. she also told me the secret to her +50 years of marriage. my grandmother passed away today. i'm sad, but happy for her just the same. if anyone ever deserved peace, it was her. as she lived a very full and wonderful life.... the end was hard. not the ailments that took her last breath, but the abuse she had to suffer at the hands of a family member, before she was admitted into a nursing home. when finally there, i knew she was safe... but now, she's eternally safe and that's what makes me happy, besides all of the wonderful memories i have of the most memerable times in my life! i only tell this bcuz maybe it will givn insight into the gem-cancer combo and how the dynamic works. after all, i am my grandmother's child...

What a beautiful heart felt read my lovely, sorry to hear of your loss, how lovely that you have such beautiful memories of such a wonderful lady... Often how we see others is a reflection of ourselves, truly beautiful 🙂

I am very sorry for your loss. It's clear you loved her very much. Sounds like she was an amazing woman with an amazing life. Wishing you well in this time.

hi Ellybean! thank you for your kind words. they are appreciated! :] i am actually at peace with her passing. it was her time to go and i do have soo many beautiful memories of her that i can take with me. :]

thanks, Cluelesscancer. :]
very simply, do unto others, as you would have done to you. i can't remember all the numerous times, as a kid, she would say... "and how would you feel if that happened to you....?"
and, the 50+ years of marriage was, "anyone can be lovers, but when lovers get mad at each other, they split and leave each other... it takes MORE than love to keep a commitment! being each other's best friend is better! best friends forgive and have unconditional love! they are dedicated to each other! lovers don't, lovers are selfish and are always concerned with how THEY feel and never about how the other feels." :]
she told me this many times... and it's always worded different, but always the same basic message....

wich sign was her husband?

hi ThisAndThat! how have you been? my grandfather was a aries, march 30th. :] a very interesting one, too... he didn't talk much. only when it was important. definitely a man of very few words. you would always find him in the other room, by himself, and reading the paper with the tv going in the background. lol!
