I love your blogs and tributes to family members. Your Grandma Jewel was a special person with a zest for life & a deep and abiding love for her family. I'm glad I had a chance to meet her, she had such a glowing countenance. As always, you brought tears to my eyes with your special gift.

I have had some horrible marathon experiences with it being too hot and always wished for rain and cold and then I got my wish when I ran a half marathon in chicago in brutally cold pouring rain and windy conditions and it was AWFUL! I cussed in my head the whole 13.1 miles. so hard to run in conditions like that, and that was only a half! So you are my hero.Tiffanyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08557686995956779892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7431505927795492227.post-43708003561026251772013-05-29T14:51:18.731-07:002013-05-29T14:51:18.731-07:00thanks so much Holly!

I lost several other loved ones that same year (your dad & Grandma Martha included). I am ever grateful that I got to say goodbye to most of them and tell them I loved them.WMayfield243https://www.blogger.com/profile/03016827914068233608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7431505927795492227.post-29800777702169136392013-05-29T05:51:39.900-07:002013-05-29T05:51:39.900-07:00It's nice to see that your feistiness is genet...It's nice to see that your feistiness is genetic.
