It’s not like when one of these kids gets murdered in the streets over beef. That’s a tragedy. When you are 90 and go peacefully with love ones around that’s a measuring stick."</b><br /><br />Along with co-signing on the "5," I love and agree with this very astute observation my friend! My grandmother died at 93 in 2002. She buried most of her 15 children. When she was 87, my mother, who was the oldest, died. She and I were sitting on the front porch of Mama's house in SC - just to get away from all the people for awhile. She leaned over and said, "Debi, fix me a drink." I said, "Grandmama, you know they (the remaining son & daughters) don't want you drinkin'!!" <br /><br />She said, "Ain't what <i>dey</i> want now is it?"<br /><br />I got right up, made two big mugs of coffee and threw a shot of Hennessey in it for each of us and sat back down with her. My aunt came out to ask her if she needed anything. She looked at me, then looked at her, and said - "Not a thing Ma'am."<br /><br />Soon as my aunt went back inside, we looked at each other and just busted out laughing. That, <b>"fun along the way thing"</b> does make the loss easier.<br /><br />My condolences to you and your family, Cliff. And tell that Baby <i>all</i> of your grandmother's stories!!DebChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02018798227792356966noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8075448.post-75001287602541236372009-12-04T03:13:19.383-06:002009-12-04T03:13:19.383-06:00My deepest sympathy, Cliff.

You have honored your parents and grandparents in your writing here and in the values you express and the way you live your life. <br /><br />There is a thoughtfulness and fair judgement on display in your writing that comes from wisdom handed down as well as what you have learned from experience. Those things make you a very compelling writer.<br /><br />In a way, one could say they still have a living voice through you. That's not a bad way for a grandmother to be remembered. I'd say she must be pretty pleased with what she's accomplished.Anitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17861775657392808950noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8075448.post-90471996474936430312009-12-03T22:53:29.777-06:002009-12-03T22:53:29.777-06:00May her memory always be for a blessing.
