This blog is dedicated to Addison's great-grandma, Georgia Bell Ozmint Alexander. She is one of the many wonderful women that have influenced my life and she received her heavenly healing on Mother's Day.
She taught me to find good in everyone, to encourage everyone you meet because you never know what they are going through, and to tell those you love that you love them. She knew what was most important in life and those are the things she focused on: Faith, Family, and Friends. I've always loved these songs by Point of Grace, so I am playing them here because they exemplify the way she lived her life.
She loved life and found joy in everything. She loved her great-granddaughter tremendously and I want Addison to know what a beautiful woman she was. She has truly blessed our lives.
Addison was 3 days old when she first met Great-Grandma
At Addison's first birthday party
Addison's first Christmas
Here is Addison visiting Great-Grandma during her rehab stay at the nursing home last year. She loved to sit with Great-Grandma and watch the birds and the fish.
This one is my favorite of Addison singing Great-Grandma to sleep
We will miss you, Grandma, but we are glad that your suffering is over and that you are with your life's loves, Papa Marshall and Jesus. You've left us with many wonderful memories that we will share with your great-grandchildren. See you again someday...
You are a beautiful person and although I didn't know her I know she must have been one too if she influenced you. You made me tear up with this post and it's not easy to make me tear up! Love you guys!
ReplyDeleteAmanda,
ReplyDeleteI was unaware that your sweet grandma had passed away. This blog was beautiful. I feel blessed to have known all four of your "grands"...they are some special people to me. I am so glad that our relationships do not end here! When I was in college and doing summer missions...your grandma always wrote to me...Her letters were some of my favorites. She had a wonderful ability with the pen! My thoughts are with your family during this time of missing Georgia. Much Love, Stacy
What a beautiful tribute! She sounds so wonderful and I know you will all miss her tremendously and I continue praying. Thank you for sharing her with us. What precious pictures! I love the sweet expression she was wearing on the last one...like she was just savoring the sweetness of little Addison. We love you guys!! h
ReplyDeleteBeautifully said. And the song playing too... well, that just made me tear up a little bit. Mrs. Alexander was a wonderful, sweet lady and will be missed by us all.
ReplyDeleteThinking of you guys this week and in the days to come.
