Amazing Women

They are all around. In fact all women are amazing. Today though I am reminded of the many who have come into my life, impacted me and are now wrecking havoc in heaven.

MOM-
She kinda started it all for me. We fought, we cried , we laughed. Oh how we laughed. We would laugh until we couldn't breathe and keep right on laughing. I got my amazing looks from her! Learned that no matter the the time spent apart from someone or the mile between, once they are your friend they are your friend for life. My hero nurse.

NANA-
Soft spoken. Always prepared for adventure. A giver of all she had, time, money, love. Wouldn't stay still for long. A survivor. The closest thing to Mother Teresa in my life. All five foot plus and she was a giant.

GREAT GRANDMA VINCENT-
I was blessed to know her. Fun loving. laughter. Full of spunk. If it hadn't been for her I might not even be here. Thanks for falling over and forcing dad to rescue you and inevitably end up meeting your granddaughter : )

GRANDMA DORIS-
You just got to laugh. It takes all kinds to make the world go round. I remember waking up early at her house and find her reading her Bible and praying every morning. She knew my favorite story was Zacchaeus and know matter how many times I read it she would teach me a different lesson every time. We may not have seen eye to eye on a lot of things, but she was an amazing woman of God.

AUNT CINDY-
I took her some getting used to being called aunt, but I would have it no other way. She was one of the women who filled the mom hole for me. She was a friend, a mom, and an aunt. She helped me become an adult.

PATTI D-
Helped me to see nursing is not just a job. Got the best nursing advice from her. "Ever morning I pray Lord protect me as I protect and care for these patients." it hasn't failed me yet. Another Hero Nurse.

CAROLYN W-
She did much with the little she had.

MARGE F-
What a women, can't say much more than that. She always said that, "Jesus loves everybody, but he loves me most. " Pretty sure that is true.

All amazing women whom I am blessed to have know, be it only for a season. They are all gone, but not forgotten.
