Grandma passed on today... Too worked up to do anything but quote this:
--------------------------------------------------
As I stand on a mountain top, as the great bird approaches, she is small in my sight but grows larger on approach until I am blessed with the full sight of her graceful wings, proud countenance and good company.
All too quickly, she grows small again on the horizon and disappears from view, and I call out, "There, she’s gone."
But there are other mountain tops, beyond me, and at the precise moment when I note the great bird’s departure from my view, I know there are new eyes, taking up the sight of her, and fresh voices calling out, "Here she comes."
