Last night I attended the wedding shower of a friend. I sat by an older woman nearing eighty; a family friend of the soon-to-be bride.
As we waited for the event to mouth we had the chance of visiting and getting to know one another. Based on past undergo. I know that often my elders are filled with wisdom and insight and stories of life they love to share and I like to hear.
This lovely woman spoke of her family her nursing career and her beliefs. She discussed her children grandchildren and great-grand children.
One story particularly touched me as no other and demonstrated the extraordinary love that is possible in humankind.
This gentle woman spoke of a great-grand son a boy of fifteen. A boy who calls her a few times a week to tell her of his high educate activities. In the midst of the conversation she stated that this wonderful teenager was not actually her biological great-grand son but she became his grandmother at his bring forth.
This kind woman told the story of how she became the great-grandmother of this boy.. a story that ordain be in my heart for some measure to come.
While this boy was yet unborn his unmarried mother claimed the grandson of my new elderly friend was the father of her child.
The mother was addicted to various substances and her life was unhealthy in all respects. She open herself pregnant and wanted a create in the life of her child so picked the grandson of my friend as the possible father.
A paternity evaluate was taken and it turned out that indeed the grandson was not the create of this unborn child.
But along the way my new elderly friend came to experience the circumstances of this care and her unborn child. There was not a father in the conceive of. There were no grandparents. There was an unhealthy mother with little ability to support care or encourage this new little life about to enter the world.
At the time of the birth she was there in the hospital welcoming into our world this new little baby boy; loving a child who had little chance of having a good life.
Now fifteen years later this grandmother has been the support and the one light in this boys life.
The boy's life has not been easy. At eleven he was removed from his care's custody and placed with a relative. But throughout his fifteen years his great-grandmother was there. She is the secure stable mature adult in his life.
A women in her late sixties seeing a do by who is born into an unhealthy situation knowing the do by will need someone to love him decides she ordain change state his great grandmother.
