Day 149-"Between Sips"

I sat with my grandmother Moore this morning & we shared a pot of coffee. She is 90 years old now. It's so sad to see how cruel time can be to our earthly bodies. We laughed as she shared stories of her past. She was giving me the history of her old house that I will soon be living in & running a photography studio out of. Before she lived there the queen of the house was her Aunt Mag. Aunt Mag could have given my spunky little self a run for it's money any day of the week. She secured & buried 4 different husbands in her lifetime. Mag's family didn't care much for her 4th husband & paid him to leave her. He moved away & then they decided he wasn't so bad after all & went & found him & paid him to come back. L the frig out Loud! That's the stuff movies are made of my friends:) My grandmother sighed & with a far off look in her eye said "yes, Mag sure did love the fellas". Gone are the days when my grandmother could go out to dinner with us or out to Ham Days or to church. It's only a matter of time until we have to say goodbye to her in this lifetime. Her shaky little hands tell me that I must cherish every cup of coffee I'm given with her. Soaking up every precious memory she shares between sips.

Beautifully written, Kim. It is true how cruel time can be to our earthly bodies. I feel like the older I get the older my loved ones get as well. I am just thankful that our grandmothers have been able to live long, full lives.

Kim,
What a gift! Her hands remind me of my Grandmother. She has been gone now almost 13 years. She raised three boys and one daughter and that daughter's daughter. I miss her. Thank you for bringing her beauty to my mind.
