You have to get up and try

I can't fully understand the power of my Grandmother. She just is so strong, so amazing and so willed. This past Tuesday, she went through her second round of chemo. 17 years ago she survived colon cancer, last year an aorta valve replacement and bypass and this year the cancer came back but spread.

I look at her strength and her vision. She keeps me in check. She raised 5 boys. I was in the first round of Granddaughters but we have had plenty of boys in the mix. Our life growing up was complicated like so many. There is nothing about my story that has not been heard before but to me the music in my lyric is my Grandma, Memaw.

She did share with me tonight a lot about our family heart history. We are threaded and most did not live past 60. Scares me a bit. She too had 5 Brothers.

My Grandmother is stunningly beautiful, much like my Mom was so on this flashback Thursday, I thought I would share.
