My heart goes out to Kenya tonight after suffering this tremendous loss of her only mother. I’m so glad that she has a loving husband to support her.
Come for the tea. Stay for the shade.

My heart goes out to Kenya tonight after suffering this tremendous loss of her only mother. I’m so glad that she has a loving husband to support her.
Oh my gosh, that just made me cry. I’m so glad that she can take comfort in knowing her grandmother left her in good hands. My heart goes out to Kenya.
me too, tearing up…. so sorry Kenya
That was a really sweet post. Her Grandma did a great job with Kenya and it shows. Kenya worked hard for everything she has and I’m glad she’s finally happy like she deserves to be.
So sorry, that’s sad.
That was a beautiful and loving tribute. Kenya had a wonderful mother. God bless her soul.
This is sad and precious at the same time. That connection with her grandmother will last a lifetime. Alzheimer’s is horrible and any sparks of recall is a great moment.
Sorry for her loss, hope she continues to surround herself with great people.
I’m so sorry for her loss, and so happy she’s able to replace the unconditional love with her husband.
The tears cannot stop falling. Kenyas grandmother seems like she was an amazing lady. I remember the scenes of her at their family reunion and everyone had so much love for her. My condolences to the family.
Kenya, just know that your momma is alive with the Good Lord again and you will see her again soon. We are only on this earth but a short time. Remember he said “My Fathers house has many rooms, if it were not so would I tell you that I’m going to prepare a place for you? And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am.” Isn’t that everything to strive towards and look forward to?? To be with Everybody again. Forever. God Bless you in your time of need Kenya. ??
Like Kenya, my grandparents jave lived to see my middle life too. It is gutwrenching when they go, but I do try and treasure the time God gave us together. You are never to old for grandma’s lap. Praying for you Kenya ❤️
Kenya’s posting is so moving and her grandma looks like an angel. Clearly, God provided Kenya with her beautiful grandma from the beginning and that has made all the difference, and Kenya shares her grandma’s beautiful spirit. And I too believe that her grandma waited to pass until after Kenya got married. Even after they develop Alzheimers, our loved ones stay so that they can protect us with their loving energy. They stand guard. And now her grandma is an angel in heaven watching over Kenya always. I am so sorry for Kenya’s loss.
Beautiful tribute. Blessings, hugs and peace of heart.
ooh Kenya may God give you strength. Will be praying for you.
Kenya is so lucky to have had such love and support for so long. Her grandmother is gorgeous, just like her granddaughter. Now Kenya has an angel by her side.
“Today I lost the only woman in the world who has ever loved me unconditionally […] who taught me everything I know about love, compassion, strength, kindness [etc.]”
What about Aunt Lori? I thought Lori ranked right up there, as far as Kenya was concerned. Did they have a falling out?
I’m sure things are fine with her and Aunt Lori. I understand her loss because my Grandmother was the closest person to me EVER and her love was completely unconditional. We (me and Kenya) were so very lucky to have our Grandma’s as long as we did, yet it’s never long enough. My thoughts and prayers are with her…
gapeachinsc, I hope so. Aunt Lori seemed to be Kenya’s only local support for a long while. I’d hate to think that something had happened to end that.
Me too!
@YetAnotherKatie, will you negative Nellies give it a rest
Mimi, get over yourself. There was nothing negative in the comment.
I was about to respond to your comment mentioning Aunt Lori with “me too.” Instead, I am now compelled to say me too and that I agree that an expression of concern is not being negative.
I am tearing up…..Kenya, my deepest condolences on your loss, praying for you & your loved ones.
A moving expression of truly heartfelt grief. Prayers for Kenya.
Sincere condolences to one unconditionally loved granddaughter from another.
Losing the person who loves you most is like losing the rock you built a church upon. With a properly laid foundation the bereaved and the faith find themselves still standing.
We try and love just as much yet in the end they love moore. They are not alone.
Awesome, TD!! I’ve been in deep grief lately so I appreciate this – great reminder for me!! XOXO
I admit I lost it when I got to the part about her grandmother holding on until Kenya found someone to love her as much as she did. I 100% believe that. So beautiful & sad.
Right now I’m bawling for her. And for me too. Saturday we had to commit my mom to a memory care facility. She doesn’t want to be there. They won’t let her have her cat. Alzheimer’s a dirty cunt.
I’m so sorry Bee! I understand what you’re going through only too well. You’re in my thoughts and prayers.
I am so sad for Kenya. Her statement is so beautiful. And, I believe what she said about her grandmother waiting until she knew Kenya had someone who will be there for her. She will definitely be in my thoughts and prayers.
Bee: I am so sorry that you are experiencing what has to be an extremely painful situation. I have two 83-year old parents, and my father is starting to show signs of what might be an early stage of Alzheimer’s. I am so scared! Tonight, when I pray for God’s guidance and grace in dealing with my elderly parents, I will say a prayer for you too.
Pat and Bee, I’m sorry for both of your situations. There is nothing easy about the decisions that you’ll have to make, and no matter how hard you try to do what’s best for your parents, you’ll second-guess yourself constantly, which adds to the pain. I’ve been there, and I’ll say prayers for both of you as you deal with what the future brings. God bless.
