Inspiration



My Grandma Sylvia Young is such an inspiration to me. I do not have a single memory of Grandma being grumpy or angry. She is ALWAYS optimistic and never forgets to think with an eternal perspective. Do you know how hard it is to be optimistic every minute? I don't know how she does it.

Right now she is dying. I can't even think about it without tearing up! Although her breast cancer is eating away her bones, do you know who I call when I need a "pick-me-up?" Grandma. She is so cheerful. Confined to a bed, never to feel her legs again and she just chats like she's on the moon! She's amazing, and I hang up feeling better about myself, with my eternal goals back in the picture and with more love for my kids and husband.

She can just use one arm now, but she is still on a service mission. Isn't that cool? She holds her laptop in one arm and answers the calls of people needing help with familysearch.org. She's helping people all around the world do family history! My Grandma is an inspiration, and I can't wait to go to beautiful Southern Utah and see her for Thanksgiving. I love you Grandma!
