True character and heart are not revealed by action, but by age. When someone advances in age, we see who they really are.
For my Po Po (grandma), she emanated joy to her last day. She was always sharp as a tack and always interested to know how my life was going. The last time I saw her, although weak, she beamed with joy and was so grateful to get to see Kelly and myself as we returned from our honeymoon. She said to us, "I am so happy that you two are in love, and I'm so happy that you are happy!"
Truly a special lady whose character and heart of joy were true to her last day.
Thank you for all the wonderful memories Po Po.
There is no greater blessing
Than to be loved
By family, by friends
By God up above
This is for my Po Po
From all of us who’ve known
That sweet and generous heart
And all the love she’s shown
Her spirited and boisterous laugh
Her smile from ear to ear
For from within her heart
Came a joy so perfectly clear
Always so delightful
She spoke with such sincerity
The sweetest sounding words
With purpose and with clarity
Always so bright and cheerful
With a sharp intelligence
She knew to live life fully
To embrace the present tense
Po Po you loved us well
There is no greater blessing
We remember you so fondly
As you make your final resting
