This evening is an evening of reflection full of pride, passion, and selfless devotion.
I am proud to remember the love of my grandmother because I was blessed to live in the same house with her where all of my Aunts and Uncles were raised. Grams home became my home, where she loved me everyday through kindness and chocolate. Today I try to make my home a home of memories for my family.
I learned about passion from her as I learned how she passionately gave herself to her country in the time of war, gave all of herself to her children all of their lives, gave herself to others as a nurse, and gave herself to God. I too have given myself to my country, my family, and now to the innocent as a firefighter. Thank you for the lessons Gram.
Gram showed selfless devotion to my grandfather for 73 years, standing by his side, nursing him back to health years and years ago, never giving up on life or her family. I can only begin to show the selfless devotion my Gram lived, but I promise to remember her everyday and ensure her lessons live on.
Gram, I am sorry I am not there, but you are in my heart, especially when I eat chocolate. (Thanks for sneaking me candies this summer).
Your loving Grandson, Jason.
