My 93 year old grandmother shows me everyday how much life is a gift. Today my grandma had an accident and fell. She did get a big bruise on her head and face, but praise God that she is okay.
My grandmother is such a trooper. She is tough as nails. I have been learning so much from her all of my life. And I still keep learning. In the face of adversity or pain she is so strong and so faithful in a crisis. She always keeps her head about her.
I guess these things are part of what had enabled her to live to the age of 93. And amazingly, she has an older sister who is 94! My grandmother has written and published three novels, the most recent was published when she was 90 years of age. The titles of her books are respectively: Head Into The Wind, Shadow On The Water, and Years From Home.
Years from Home is an awesome book and a retrospective of her life in novel form. The characters in the book are actually her family members. You can purchase the book from Amazon and from Publish America.
I highly recommend you get a copy for a good read about a kinder, gentler, more Christian time in our country’ s history.
Peace.
