"Like a Tidal Wave" | Gulf Of Mexico
She taught me to call if I'm going to be late.
She demonstrated the importance of straight seams;
the beauty of a belly laugh.
the beauty of a belly laugh.
She taught me that every kitchen needs a rooster, every cook needs cast iron, brownies are best served warm & that practice might not make perfect but it sure does make a piano recital less painful.
She expected me to always think outside the box; to always hope.
She demonstrated that joy is eternal, grace is God-given, and that love can be radical & quiet at the same time.
She adored me, even when I wasn't adorable.
She gave me a working knowledge of what it is to be "Proper" but fully expected me to write my own rules.
She exemplified self sacrifice with personal dignity.
She knew she was dying & she knew
that I did not.
She told me to take care of me & to take care of my family. And when she was gone she taught me that tho' grief may come like a tidal wave,
it cannot drown me.
She taught me that He has put eternity in the hearts of men & that I am still
her little girl.
