I also went to see Nathan's grandma, Mama Lou.
She's just one of the sweetest women I've ever met and I'm glad that I got to know her even for a little bit before her decline. She has cancer, and she's being so strong. Her faith in God astounds me. Nathan and I were talking about this the other day. She said that things are the way that God wants them to be and everything would work out. This woman who is dying of cancer, is stronger than I have ever been to even speak that. It's the bravest thing to be able to say that and have faith the way that she does.
Nathan took the sweetest picture of her and her husband, his Papa Sam, praying together. It's inspiring, sad, humbling, and love.
It was so nice to be able to talk with her and just sit and be. She wanted Nathan to play the piano immediately when we came in, and he did. His playing always makes me tear up because it's so beautiful, but watching her just take in the music was amazing. I could tell it was just what she wanted and needed to hear. I can just see how much it makes her whole day to hear him play.
I need to appreciate what I have in my life. If I can live to be as faithful and happy and wonderful as Mama Lou, then I'll be truly blessed.
