If roses grow in Heaven Lord
   Please pick a bunch for me.
    Place them in my Grandmother's arms
   and tell her they're from me.
   Tell her I love her and miss her,
    and when she turns to smile,
    Place a kiss upon her cheek
    and hold her for awhile.
   Because remembering her is easy,
   I do it everyday,
   But there is an ache within my heart
      That will never go away.

~GRANDMOTHER~

Because you cared,I was.
Because you loved,I am.              
Because you understood,I endured. 
Because you prayed,I was blessed. 
Because you believed,I believed.    
Because you are my grandmother,
   I give praise!!

This is a collection of saying I learned from my granny ,
when I was a  kid growing up. I have tried my best to live
by these.
 
  Just living is not enough.
       One must have sunshine freedom and a little flower.
  Bloom where you are planted!
  Sow courtesy and reap friendship,plant kindness and gather love.
  Tune other's heartstrings as well as your own!
  Friendship is the breathing rose, with sweets in every fold.
To have a friend is to have one of the sweetest gifts that
       life can bring;to be a friend is to have a solemn and tender
       education of soul from day to day.
A friend is the gift of God, and He only who made hearts
       can unite them.
Go often to the house of thy friend, for weeds choke up the
       unused path.
A smile from a friend is a flower in the buttonhole of life.
A good friend is like a warm quilt wrapped around the heart.
A real friend is one who helps us to think our noblest thoughts,
        put forth our best efforts, and be our best selves.

"ALL THE LOVE WE EVER SHARE..LIVES FOREVER IN OUR HEARTS!"
Those words were spoken to me by my grandmother in a dream.
"Thanks, Mother Shinn!"
Those words will never be forgotten by me or anyone who reads
this.  You have always been an inspiration to me and continue to
be from  heaven above!  Angels watch over me!  What the heart
gives away is never gone... It is kept in the hearts of others.
She always felt that there were guardian angels that came down
from heaven to watch over us, but she said that there was also
guardian angels right here on earth....in the form of "friends".

         I  remember her courage, her quiet reserve,

                her compassion for others in need.

             She knew in her heart the God of Love

              whom she trusted, and truly believed.

          A teacher, a nurse, a companion, a guide...

              She taught me to laugh and to pray.

           She taught me to live, taught me to love,

             then released me to go my own way.

         But none can match the love and warmth

                    of the one I hold so dear.

              The one that held me in her arms

                 And brushed away my tear.

      A Mothers Love,
It warms your nights,
It fills your very soul.
A Mothers Love, can hear you breath,
while hands caress your hair.
A Mothers Love, can feel your pain,
your past, both right and wrong.
A Mothers Love, it's presence felt,
will never let you fall.
A Mothers Love, will always grow.
It's a love that never dies.

  Proud Granddaughter
What is life without a Grandmother?
Where else would one learn about life?
The joy of grandmothers is irreplaceable
A Grandmother's kiss, a Grandmother's kind words
Love, caring, sharing life's lessons

The richness captured in Grandmothers' lives
Is thick and full of glorious energy
Stories told of lives and lives ago about
Hardship, laughter, sadness, and happiness
To be carried on and on through the years

I intend to carry on the spirit of MY Grandmother
Her love, her life, her stories
God bless my Mother Shinn forever
For I will love her endlessly, through eternity

And I will remember, I will remember...
Her smile, her face, her eyes, her tears
I will always cherish her love and generosity
    Always and forever...

Thank you, Mother Shinn
For guiding and supporting me
Helping make me become the woman I am
And am still becoming
You are always in my heart, in my thoughts,
and on my mind
          I love you,
    Your proud granddaughter
