Goodbye Grandma Inez

We will bury the best woman besides my birth mom to ever happen to me this Sunday. She lived to 92. I will take it in two raised to glory fists, 92. Most of all, I will remember her grace, gentle spirit, patience, peace within.

One time I went with her to deliver Avon in rural MS. Some "clients" kept her waiting 30 minutes or more to pay upon delivery. I was about to jump completely out of my ci...vil rights skin. I will never forget my grandma's response, a true life lesson for me. Her response shaped the woman I have become!

Moral: you attract more bees with honey.

P.S. She passed away during my Live Your Awesome Life inaugural event. I believe Grandma Inez wanted to see it through with me. Her husband, Daddy Walter (a preacher) died of a heart attack reading the bible in the waiting room, waiting to see a doctor one Christmas Eve.

OK and finally a confession: I had a break up once with a boyfriend who had given me a thick gold chain. I in turn gave it to grandma Inez. She was the envy of the church. I winked/chuckled at her every time she wore it! The breakup to build up chain!

Goodbye for now sweet Grandma Inez. I know how much you adored me, and I triple adored you right back!
