My beautiful Grandma..


is in the hospital. She's 93 years old and she's such a trooper. She's a fighter and I have so many things to learn from her. My grandma goes through so much but out of all of it she fights and comes out of it a better person. I am praying right now that she will fight through this time as well.

On the drive to church this morning I had a lot time to think about stress and sadness. I was trying to categorize in my head how everyone handles stress differently. Some people want to eat a lot and some people don't want to eat anything. Some people want to sleep 24 hours a day and others can't sleep at all. Some people have anxiety attacks, some get depressed, some try to numb out. But it is different for each of us. We decided that the challenge is to not let your stress behavior win. We decided that we have to fight for normalcy--normal sleep, normal eating, normal hours, and normal routine. But that can be so tough! It's something that I struggle with daily. My prayer is that through this stress that our family is going through that we will not let the stress behaviors win.

My grandma is strength, my grandma is love and my grandma is beautiful.
