when "merdaughter" was born, her mother and I had always, since childhood, promised "halvzies" meaning what's hers is half mine (in this case.... her daughter, Andrea!) ha! I was really hurt when I wasn't allowed to be her GodMother (Catholic rules), so years later, Andrea gave me an "official GodMother" certificate - I'm a very proud GodMommy Aunt Nique. Andrea has had an incredible life journey and continues her amazing trip. She was blessed with two kidney transplants and now is in her 3rd year of college. WAY to go, my dear one. She is abled in her wheelchair, having been in a car accident as a teenager. What a beautiful New Mexico flower bloomed after years of dialysis, transplant failure, and severe complications from the paralysis/wheelchair. I think she's an inspiration in "how to keep on keeping on" in the face of pain, difficulty, hardship... the list is long! Here she is, still joyful, grateful, amazing!
