I think the purpose of life is to be useful, to be responsible, to be
honorable, to be compassionate. It is, after all, to matter: to
count, to stand for something, to have made some difference that you
lived at all.
-- Leo C. Rosten (1908-1977) American Writer
Six months ago, on this day, at 6:45 AM, while I was sleeping peacefully at home, my grandmother died in her hospital room. The quote mentioned above fits for this day-my grandmother was all of those things during her life, and the difference she made was that she instilled those same qualities in my mother, who in turn instilled those qualities in me.
I loved my grandmother deeply and even though I miss her greatly, she will never be gone from my heart.
