My Grandma’s Stroke

My grandma (90 years young) and my Grandpa (98 years young) are 2 of my heroes in life.

Last week my Grandma had a mini-stroke and when I went in to visit her in the hospital the first thing she said was,

“I’m so sorry we missed your birthday, I have a card for you at the house.”

The last thing she said as I left her hospital room was…

“We’ll make sure and get you your card soon.”

Her and my grandpa are always so positive and caring, even through the tough times.

Yesterday I went to visit my Grandma with my family and we a had a great visit.

I knelt down by her hospital bed and we talked and laughed together for a good chunk of time.

She made me smile and inspired me with her positive mental attitude and outlook on the situation, and I was fortunate give her a few laughs in return.

At one point she said to me “Well, I guess I won’t have to worry about church for a few weeks.”

And I said, “I guess it turns out there’s an upside to everything isn’t there grandma?” – and we both laughed together. 🙂

I walked out of her hospital room knowing the purpose of that visit had been fulfilled.

My sister Shana said to me, “you made grandma laugh so hard.”

The thing is, I hadn’t planned any of it.

We all showed up to try and return a fraction of the love and support she has shown us all throughout our lives.

I was there, in the moment, with the right intentions – and everything flowed the way I think it was supposed to flow.

One big lesson for me from this experience is that maybe we really do have everything we need for each moment of life we’re faced with, if we can show up with the right intentions and be open to the guidance that is there for us every step along the way.

Perhaps this is a little taste of what Dr. Wayne Dyer was talking about in that lesson from his book I shared with you the other day.

Maybe, if we shift our focus from striving to

lead

so much to being

led

instead – more miracles can manifest in the moments of our days.
