This Is Us: A grandchild's reflection on the life-altering impact of their Grandmother's fingerprint

by Drew Foster

Overview

As I sat and looked through pictures of my Grandmother, recalling all the adventures we had together,

I pondered what words I would want to say to her. What would I want her to know? How would I describe the impact she had? I pulled out a pen and paper and began writing. The values she instilled in me flowed instantly like a quiet stream. The more I penned, the more I realized how much of who I am as a person was a reflection of who she was. "I am a walking fingerprint of your touch on my life", I wrote.

"So, I return to the lake and feel you in the breeze
I watch the sunset and feel your love
I see the dandelion and feel your presence
I live out these values you instilled in me
And live out your legacy

Love you forever, Grandma."
