Thank you for sharing this wonderful portrait of your grandmother. I’m so sorry that she passed away, but you’re so fortunate to have the memories and life lessons of a woman like this to carry with you. My own grandmother has also taught me much about faith and life. She’s 93, and I fear it’s only a matter of time until she’s gone. You’ve inspired me to gather my thoughts and impressions and write a post in tribute to her.

Anyway, I’m glad I found your blog! Blessings to you as you sort through your memories and emotions these coming days.

Thank you for sharing this. It goes perfectly w/ what I’m currently reading (The Dance of the Dissident Daughter by Sue Monk Kidd). Growing up fundie and then evangelical has made it hard for me to make the break and claim my own spirituality. It’s inspiring to hear stories of women who’ve done it for themselves.

What a poignant and wonderful picture of her you have given us here. It makes me want to know her. Extraordinary. Thank you. I laughed and this post helped to make my day.
Cheers

I hope you are loving life in Denmark!

And here’s me at only 54 debating whether to get a tattoo! Good for her and her appetite for life.
