my grandma.

i was just checking my emails and ran across one from my aunt. i normally don't read emails from my extended family because they're mostly just forwards and nonsense, but i felt like i should read this one. it talked about how she started using goodsearch.com to raise money for the orphanage that i went to in peru, but went on to talk about my grandma who passed away one year ago. she told us to search her.

i proceeded to search, and found some emails that my cousins have written about my grandma. she was such an amazing person. served 3 missions, all after she was 60 years old. maybe 50. but regardless, all in the twilight of her life. i'm not even really sure if that's what that phrase refers to, but i'm going to roll with it. just amazing inspirational. always working. always serving. always making her life and the lives of those around her better. she was so brutally honest, said exactly what she thought, but everyone loved her for it because you knew that she never had any harmful intent.

she wasn't overly outspoken. most of the lessons that i learned from her were through her example. her life validated the addage "actions speak louder than words."

one of the things that she valued most were her relationships with her friends and most importantly family. i haven't visited my grandpa in a long time. i need to. i haven't seen my cousins in a long time. i need to.

time to prioritze my life i guess. it's too short not to.
