One of my favorite pastimes is hearing my grandmother tell stories about her childhood. Her brothers and her younger sister grew up in a time and a life that are gone or that are quickly fading. The way they lived has always been so fascinating to me and I think so much good came from that. The impact these stories have had on my life and the impact that my grandmother has had on me are nothing short of amazing! Her and her siblings are the most loving and accepting people I have ever met! They have honestly come from the depths and back, and you would never know. They are humble.  My grandma's little sister, my Great Aunt Dot, has Pulmonary Fibrosis. We wear bracelets on our wrists supporting her for a few years now and I am proud! Daily, when I look down and see my bracelet, I say a little prayer for her, and I wanted to do something a little bigger. When life becomes overwhelming at times all we have to do is remember to BREATHE. 

The Spirit of God has made me, and the breath of the Almighty gives me life. -Job 33:4
