A Closer Look

This picture is of her and her grandson (my son) hunting Easter eggs. It was taken a couple years ago.

He was definitely the apple of his grandmomma's eye. She loved him dearly and took advantage of every opportunity to spoil him.

We have spared him the horrible details of her death, but he does know grandmomma was murdered by the hands of another. Children are so perceptive, we did not immediately tell him she was killed by another. However when he spoke of her dying, he would refer to it as "the crime."

It saddens me to think he will have to grow up and not have her in his life. I know she could have taught him some wonderful lessons. As the saying goes, if only we could turn back the hands of time . . .
