I am so sorry to hear about Texasflower. Although we may never meet face to face, this free republic community reaches out and touches us in so many ways.

I will especially pray for Tammy's daughters, it is way to soon to lose the guidance of a mother. My grandmother (my mother's mother) died when she was only 12. All my life I have prayed to and talked with her, this grandmother I have never seen nor hugged. But I know one day we will rejoice together and know it was all part of God's perfect plan.

Those are beautiful words, Twin. I know they're true.

My mother's real mother died when she was 4 and I think we all feel that loss many years later. My mother did have a stepmother- she loved us and we loved her. I actually thought she was my real grandmother till I was 11 or 12 years old. Still, I miss what could have been if my biological maternal grandmother had lived longer.
