My mother passed away when I was 5-years old. I spent alternating week-ends with my grandmothers who helped me learn so many things. My paternal grandmother was stricken with rheumatoid arthritis and was homebound. But she still awoke every morning, often in debilitating pain, and thanked God for giving her another sunrise. She never feared death. She would always speak of an upcoming time when she would be called home. She would tell us she would miss being with us physically, but that she would not leave us spiritually. That when God called her home she would be beautiful, walk upright instead of hunched over, and no longer have pain. But she would never leave us. To this day, more than 40 years late, I know she is with me.
My maternal grandmother became my best friend and my mentor. She filled in so many roles in my life as she helped my father raise my siblings and me. She taught me to love all things, to take time to smell the roses, and through her I learned that if you don't laugh at least once a day, then it wasn't worth getting out of bed. I live this still every day.

That is a powerful reminder. Our stories of success are always told in a linear fashion, and many of us become discouraged when we don't feel like we are moving on a steady path forward. I think we would benefit from more success stories that include the setbacks and the not-forward, but not-back moments as well.
