A Legacy Left

At this present moment I am sitting in a hospital room with my Grandmother, the most beautiful woman alive, as she recovers from a pacemaker installation procedure.  My Grandmother has been suffering from congestive heart failure - she is 89 years old,

Despite our efforts to convince her otherwise, my Grandmother choose the DNR and DNI option.  When asked why her response was "I'm old, I lived a long life and if I go I go."  My spunky Grandmother said it with a smile on her face.  Ms. Harrison is confident that she has left her mark on this earth.  

My Grandmother is not a rich woman.  Doesn't have a large savings account but she still left such a rich legacy to myself, her other grandchildren, children and great grandchildren.  Her lesson of unconditional love and commitment to God and  family has been taught to all of us and encouraged to share with others.  My Grandmother would "literally" give the shirt off her own back to a cold, shivering person.  Ina Harrison's face should be pictured in a dictionary next to the word "selfless."

I desire to be just like my Grandmother.  She is the most beautiful woman I know.  While she is still here I will learn all I can from her.  She still has so much to teach us all.  We are her legacy.


Live and Leave a Legacy. Like my Grandmother <3
