Grandma’s Prayer

Apologies for posting in this manor, but I wanted to capture this in a safe place on the web where I could easily share it with others.

I found the message here quite moving and absolutely appropriate, perhaps necessary, more than 53 years after it was written. Grandma wrote this at age 78, five years before she passed. Both the handwriting and the wisdom are unmistakably hers.
