By her example, she taught me how to do the same thing.<\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\">Celebrate by loving others.<\/h4>\n<p>Grandma loved everyone. She never spoke an unkind word about anyone.<\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\">Rejoice!<\/h4>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\">Express your love through your actions.<\/h4>\n<p>She cooked meals for neighbors and did anything she could to help anyone. She loved and helped me every chance she could.<\/p>\n<p>As soon as I arrived at her home, she stopped whatever she was doing. She sat on her worn couch and massaged my feet. I rested and told her how my life was, then I slept while she held me. When I woke up, she was still holding me. She had other things to do, but she wanted to express to me that she loved me.<\/p>\n<p>***<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/bobbiejrae.com\/nearariver\/reading-with-child-eagle-near-river-bj-rae-encouraging-words\/\">My Grandma\u2019s love molded me into the person I am today.
