I haven’t written in awhile because I have not felt inspired to write.  

This blog was finally started after my grandmother passed away.  I had been thinking about starting a blog since college, but it was after my grandmother died that I finally said “today is the day”.  Ma was 97 years old when she passed away less than one month ago.  She was my mother’s mother.  I could literally write an entire novel about Ma, her life, and how she inspired me.  She was involved in multiple organizations in Fort Worth during her prime and always stood up for what she believed in.  She is the most amazing woman I have ever known.  She is my hero.  She is my role model.  She is my grandmother and will always be even though she is gone from this world.  I am forever grateful for the time I got to spend with her.  She has inspired me to travel the world and dance and entertain.  She and my grandfather hosted many parties and spent multiple nights a week with their friends and family.  They wanted to be with the people they loved and to have a good time.  Ma loved me so much and made sure that I knew it every time I saw her.  I miss her more than words can say.  There have been ok days and bad days since March 26th, 2016.  Today was a bad day.  I can only be thankful, though, for the time I was able to spend with her.  Many people never get to meet their grandparents or have a relationship with them.  I was blessed to know all four of my grandparents during my childhood and will cherish those memories forever.  Those relationships helped shape me into the person I am today.  Thank you, Ma.
