30 DoT: Day 23

I am thankful that I get to spend time with my Grandma Linda over Thanksgiving vacation.  I admire her strength, free spirit, and love she emulates.  I have always felt a unique bond with her and love her for just who she is.

She has gone through way too much at her young age of 72; from getting married very young, to losing her husband during his 3rd open heart surgery at the age of 57, to battling and surviving breast cancer and numerous surgeries, and losing her son at his young age of 51. She has never given up through life's trials and has continually loved and be joyful. I love her so much!
