Our Lives Changed...


It's amazing how quickly eight years have gone by. We discuss Grandma regularly. There's always some story to tell or special memory to share. I like that we do this and we do it often. I share as much as I can remember about Grandma with my 15 year old nephew, Maurice. I remember Grandma telling me about her experiences with her Grandfather, Edward Johnson. I want Maurice and ALL of the family to know the stories and in turn, know the people in the stories. On March 1, I celebrate my Grandma's life and not focus solely on her passing. She lived 84 great years and in a time that we now read about in history books. Veltirea Leonia was truly a PHENOMENAL WOMAN.

You're in pain, huh?

Watching this clip taught me something. What I learned was, the man in the clip and I "thought like Lit." Now if you don't the way Lit thought, I will tell you he didn't think correctly. In fact, he was dead wrong. I never imagined an outcome like this one. If you've not seen this before, you're in for a treat. All I'll say is, Veltirea taught me to NEVER lean with your chin. He needed her sage advice.
