Relief

Thank God.

My grandmother, Ammi, had major back surgery this morning in Jackson, Miss. She is now in recovery, and the doctor said it was successful.

I have cried and cried this morning, just thinking about all the "what ifs." This woman is a second mother to me, and she is the finest woman I have ever known.

She has shown me unconditional love my entire life. I have never heard her gossip; this is because she never has.

If I am half the woman Ammi is, I am a success.
