[thelionscall] My Grandmother and what she means to me
Please pray for me and my family as well as for Norma's family. Here
is why:
My grandma fell today. she hit her head so hard that she is now
lieing in a hopsital bed brain dead. I could not stand to see her
like that and left after being there only an hour and a half. I am
surprised I lasted that long but I had to be strong for my best
friend since she was his biological grandmother and she had raised
him for several years of his life. I can't believe that we were
making plans for a party I was to have at her house just yesterday
and now today she has gone.
Norma was a Wonderful person and as far as I know there was not a
soul in this world that couldn't go with out loving this woman. I
have known Norma my whole life and Yes I mean my whole life. I have
known her as my grandmother since the day I was born. Where most
people had the normal 1 set of grandparents from each side of the
Family, I had several. the ones that stand out in my mind though are
Norma and Frank Hardy. When my mom and dad went to chicago to deliver
clothing to the needy, Grandma Norma and Grandpa Frank were there,
eager to watch us kids. I had fun playing with Brian and Bradly
playing tag and running through the field near the house. Bradly and
I became really close over the years and I know right now how much he
must be hurting inside.
Then a few years ago my Grandma Fairbanks (Florence Marie Fairbanks)
Passed away from Cancer. I was devistated. but I had Norma right
there beside me to help me understand that it was grandma's time to
go. That God needed her for other things. a few years later her and
my Grandpa got married and I was over joyed that she was at last my
REAL grandmother. Because she was married to my grandpa.
I love Norma Jean Fairbanks to death, she has always been there for
me, always been able to help me when others could not and has always
loved me as one of her own grandchildren. For as much as she has done
for me I was never able to return the love and thanks that she gave
to me.
