Grief will spin the block and sucker punch you. My granny was really sick for a long time. Toward the end of her life she told me a lot about her lifetime...horrible, heavy things. She wanted me to write a book...we didn't have enough time. One of the saddest things she told me, fighting back tears was that God gave her her voice...that it was her gift, and she lost it. I told her (in retrospect, in COMPLETE denial) noooo granny. He gave it to you, that's for YOU. You'll get it back..I mean, obviously... she was the stongest woman I've ever known.
She got it back...
So now I'm sharing one of the only videos I have left of that voice. I cherish it and the whole experience of getting to love and be loved by her. Her prayers are still keeping me.
