Yesterday I received an email from my aunt. I receive lots of emails from her as we keep in touch on a regular basis. The email I received was about me getting together with my Grandma for an hour once a week. The thing you have to understand here is that I have only met this Grandma once in my whole entire life and that was 4 years ago.
You must be wondering why, the answer to that question is simple. You see along time ago she had a baby boy, a baby boy who she couldn't keep. That baby boy, was my dad. 17 years ago my dad got a call from a lady by the name of Charlotte who he found out was his sister. They shared the same mom. He also found out there were 2 more sisters from the same mom. My dad met his sister Charlotte and fell in love with a long lost sister he didn't know he had. He didn't have much time with her as he passed away 2 years later. I met Charlotte and her family and ever since that day Charlotte and her family have been a BIG part of my life. After much prayers and a letter written to a lady I never knew, she (my Grandma) agreed to meet with me 4 years ago. I have not seen her since that day as she was 92 and didn't want to start a new relationship with a long lost granddaughter, and I totally understood. I was glad for the opportunity I had to meet her.
Well, that brings me to the True Blessing part of this story. I have an opportunity to see my Grandma once a week on a weekly basis. She is now 96 years old. How awesome is that. You see, God works in mysterious ways, a way for which I am grateful.
