As I turn a year older though, it always makes me think about life and death and how quickly our time goes by. These days, as my grandmother lies in a hospital bed fighting for her life, I think about it so much more. It reminds me of when Mufasa is telling Simba about the Circle of Life in the Lion King. The circle of life is certainly happening in our family. My cousin and I have had babies this year and sadly we will more than likely lose our beloved grandmother in the coming days/weeks/months as she has a very aggressive cancer. While her body may be leaving us, her spirit never will and as our children grow, we will tell them all about their great-grandmother and how loving and caring and non-judgemental she was and how she selflessly devoted her life to helping those less fortunate. And we will hope that some of her qualities will live and be passed down to our future generations as our Circle of Life continues.....
