This is my Grandmother or more affectionately known as Nanny and Great Nanny to the Great Grandkids. Nanny is 92 years old and has lived a very long and full life. Her life for the last year or so has been pretty much confined to her room at the nursing home. On Thursday Nanny had a massive stroke. Doctors said she was gone, there was no brain activity and that we should prepare ourselves for her to die. Could be hours or a few days. Now we are realistic and know that it is normal for a 92 year old in bad health to die but it was still shocking and upsetting to us. We hadn't been able to say goodbye. The doctors said that she probably could hear us talking to her to so John and I decided to take the kids to see her for a final goodbye. Imagine our surprise when we found her with her eyes open and talking to everyone. She even knew who we were. The Neurologist himself said if he didn't see it he wouldn't believe it. It has long been a running joke in our family that Nanny was never going to die (her mother lived to be 97). She has come close many times. Once even her doctor told her that there was no reason what-so-ever that she should still be alive. She just always beats the odds, crazy isn't it. Now we are asking ourselves, "why has God spared her life once more?". For me I hope it is to help lead many of my lost family members to Christ. She first awakened after a prayer from a preacher when he said, 'I love you" she opened her eyes and said "I love you, too".

i love you nanny. may God use you for his kingdom.
