Today, I am thankful for my mom, who gave me birth, but I am also thankful for my Grand-mom who has taken care of me this last year. She is my best friend. She pushes me to do and be the best I can be. She knows how to give Tough Love, and how to be gentle. I am thankful for this time with her. I have learned so much from her.
She has helped me through so much. Before I moved in with her, we hardly knew each-other. She didn't realize what she was getting when she offered. It was a traumatic time for her when I first moved in. My mind wasn't what it needed to be. I spent most my days being 5 years old. I remember some of that time now. I remember her gentleness, her sternness, her worry and care, her frustration. I remember the pride in her face when I would make steps forward. I remember how she would lay with me so I would sleep.
I look back through my time with my Grand Mother, and I tear. I have been so blessed. She saved my earthly life. For that, she's the bestest mom in my world.

You are very blessed to have her, and I know she feels blessed to have you there with her as well.
