Grandma

This is my grandma. She is 98 years old. She is so sweet and wants to spend time with my family eventhough she has other children. Grandpa died when I was in grade nine. Whenever she heard that I would come home, she asks people to take her to my place before I get there. It feels so good to see my grandma beside me. She is a sweetheart. She has five children, a bunch of grandchildren and countless great-grandchilren, and a few great-great-grandchilden. Grandma, continue to prayer for me!
