Not Alone

My grandpa passed away from cancer when my mom was only 19, and her 8 younger siblings were between the ages of 17-2. My grandma was often asked how she could make it alone. She always replied, "I'm not alone; I have my children and God with me. With God, all things are possible."

And she was right; God made a way for her and her children. Times were hard sometimes, but working together, they were able to overcome everything.

Nearly 30 years later, Grandma still has God with her, and now she has 9 children and their spouses, and 35 grandchildren (with more on the way) and 2 great grandchildren to walk by her side.

My Grandma is a cheerful, hardworking, wonderful woman who is an inspiration to all around her.

Sometimes, near their wedding anniversary or my grandpa's birthday, I see her eyes and know that she's missing him. But at these moments we gather closer and stronger together to support and comfort her.
