9 decades

A few weeks ago, we celebrated a great event. Steve's grandmother who we call GG, also known as Polly, turned 90 years old. What a life she has lived. She is an encourager, a woman of prayer, a giver... the list goes on. Steve credits her with praying him to a relationship with Jesus. She has on many occasions stayed awake all night praying. She is a hero to us. GG is at a hard place in life. Last year her only daugher died. Her groom died a few years ago. Her only son died as an infant. Friends are dying. She is getting homesick. Yet there is still so much to live for. She longs to see Christopher play football, Grace ice skating, Benjamin play soccer and Joshua learn to read. She longs to hear Caleb say "GG" for the first time. Fortunately, she will not make the decision when to leave. But she is ready whenever the time comes. We just won't be.
