An Amazing Woman

William's grandmother passed away. She was an amazing woman whom I loved. She was tender and always had a smile on her face. She loved to hold my hands in hers and talk. I remember when I was so incredibly nervous to meet William's family, she was the one who put me at ease because she was not afraid to show affection. When William and I tried to do a family history project one year, she was the first to open up about her childhood memories and she shared so much of herself with us. She raised quite a family, was a wonderful grandmother to William, and I'm so grateful that two of our kids got to meet her last summer in China. She will be missed.
