Happy Birthday in Heaven Grandma




Through my Grandmothers eyes I always looked


for bright beautiful tomorrows thhrough her eternal optimism



in spite of all the hardships in life

with her strong loving spirit




Through my Grandmothers ears I always heard the 




blessings


of life with her strong faith, 

and devotion


and very deep perserverance that all is good in life.





Through my Grandmothers words I was taught to speak


only words of kindness and love and always being

aware how harmful words can be


I try and always use words to never harm nor hurt anyone.



Through my Grandmothers heart, I always try and live



with love and compassion in my own, and be the light

of Christ in everyone I meet just as she has been to 

everyone.

My Grandmother has been a most excellent teacher in my 

life

and no words could ever express my love for her.





Written by me Jeanne


for my precious Grandmother on her 92nd birthday!


I wrote this a few years ago.


Now she is 101 her first birthday in Heaven

An authentic life isn't measured 

by the house you live in, 


the car you drive,


 
the clothes you wear 



or the balance of your bank account. 


Nor is it about the religion you believe in,


where you work




or even where you live on this planet.


An authentic life is about how you choose to live each day,


the lives you touch with those choices,


and the memories you leave behind with those who loved you when you're gone.



An authentic life leaves a legacy.



Choose to leave that legacy.



Live an authentic life.

“Our life is our prayer. It’s our gift to

the Universe, and the memories we 

leave behind when we someday exit



this world, will be our legacy to our

loved ones. The best thing we can do

for ourselves and everyone around us

is to find our joy and share it!”
