Today is July 20, my Grandma Tucker's birthday.
It's so hard to believe she's been gone for 15 years. I still miss her immensely. She taught me so much about life and love and survival, but most of all she taught me about giving - even and especially when it may seem that you don't have anything to give. She always shared what she had, no matter how little. I never left her house without taking something home with me and she never left a church service without putting something extra - above and beyond her tithes - in the offering plate. I see so much of her sweet and humble spirit in my daughter, and my son bears her name. Oh how I wish they were able to know her.
Her 93 years on this earth were far too short if you ask me, but her legacy lives on through so many of us...and we rejoice in the knowledge that we will see her again one day!
Happy Birthday Grandma Tucker (Willie Mae)
