Dear Marie,,,,,

I'm so happy that you decided to share your heart with us also about your grandma (almost hates to call her "grandma" that sounds too nice of a word - sorry

) You need to get those feelings out too and who better than to us who love you. Plain and simple...she is wrong....and unkind (it took a while to come up with that "nice" word) She is obviously a bitter, unhappy woman who relishes on TRYING to make others feel as unhappy as herself. Notice I used the word "TRYING!" Whatever you do Marie, do NOT let her do this to you. Giving in to her demands I suppose is something you have to do (rent etc.) but rising above her awful demeanor is something you CAN do and you do everyday. YOU are a light in her darkness, whether you realize it or not. Shine on sweet Marie.

I continue to hold you and Ed in my prayers. Such a hard journey to walk. My heart breaks for you both. God is using you Marie, I can see it. Even through the sadness I can see you "light." The "love" you show to others is incredible. You are someone for us to learn from.

Love you and please give Ed a gentle hug from me. Tell him my prayers for God's comfort and peace to surround him are real and I pray he can feel that love.
