she wont take the money but I'm going to be sure she gets it...She's earned much more in her 80+ years then I or anyone else could ever repay her
she survived the depression, helping care for faimly members who came back from WWI from injuries, taking care of her 6 brothers and sisters while her parents both had to work after their home burned down. worked her way through College and earned enough hours for a phd, touched the lives of thousands of students as a teacher, Helped my grandfather overcome his nightmares of the being beaten and watching the farmer who gave him food and helped nurse his head wound shot to death with his faimly, raised to 2 daughters while working as a teacher, helped nurse my grandfather through 4 heart attacks, burying him when I was 8 and eventually moving close to us and then with us to take care of my sister and I while my parents both worked. Taking us to countless sporting events, school, dr's apointments, me to the emergency room for medicine poisining and countless cards and phone calls for every little holiday, and offering support to me for all the hurt I felt between my parents seperation and now divorce.
Reguardless of any wrongdoing she might have ever done in her life, in my heart there is no place better for her then heaven. Those are just a few of the reasons I'm going to do what I can to make sure the quality of the remaining years of her life are good as can be.
