What a heart warming story about your grand mother. That is so tragic what happened to her with all of those losses. I'm so glad that she had you and your mom. I think she would have loved to have a guide dog too and the guide dog would have loved being with her. I always want to pet those dogs too! They always put a smile on my face when I see them because I know what a blessing they are to their masters! Thanks for sharing such a wonderful and personal story!<br /><br />Tuesdays' Show & Tail!<br />AngelaAngelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15240864960032938754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8965293212962953575.post-18281558487054519202011-04-15T06:59:59.696-06:002011-04-15T06:59:59.696-06:00With God all things are possible and I know that h...With God all things are possible and I know that he was with you Grand helping her through the days.

When Calli (age 11) is a bit older they will be getting her a guide dog. She and her brother are amazing young people and I simply adore them. The are both very musical and seem to enjoy their lessons really well. I love the story of your grandma. What an amazing woman she was!

I enjoyed reading your memory of your grandmother. Makes me appreciate what sometimes is taken for granted. Guide dogs are amazing aren't they? Like you, I always try to remember that they are working and not to pet them. I enjoyed this post.Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16727778262833890821noreply@blogger.com
