Flipping
through pictures used to bring Grandma joy as she recalled each precious moment
frozen forever in each setting.
She used to
be able to think of the funniest anecdotes about the people and places featured
eliciting giggles from anyone within earshot.
Slowly the
memories began to fade to the farthest reaches of her mind until they were mere
glimmers and then extinguished entirely.
Instead of bringing
joy and precious memories, the photographs began to bring a sense of loss and
sadness which resulted in an immediate sense of anxiety and fear.
The only
memory she managed to miraculously retain was her lifelong relationship of love,
devotion, and faith in Jesus to guide her to the unwavering beacon of light
ahead where the anxiety and fear could no longer torment her..png)
