Grandma Dynamite Running With Jesus

My heart was broken, even though long-term preparations for this inevitable day had been made. As I kissed Mama goodbye and walked away, I truly prayed that this would not be the final chapter of her life. For anyone who has ever resigned their parent to a nursing home, the emotional journey is overwhelming. To every American in 1920, polio was a dreadful disease. Mama was eleven when infantile paralysis settled into her left leg. As her body grew, her leg was left behind. For the rest of her life, Mama used one, and then eventually two crutches. Her innate determination to live a normal life exceeded her disability; however, Mama always wondered, Will I find a man to love me? Will I be able to have children of my own? Within the pages of this book lies the story of a most remarkable and extraordinary woman. Grandma Dynamite changed the lives of all those she touched. Her unselfish, sacrificial love for her family and for others has shaped my life greatly. The crutches lay untouched, for now Grandma Dynamite is running with Jesus!Webb, Jacqueline is the author of 'Grandma Dynamite Running With Jesus', published 2005 under ISBN 9781413784473 and ISBN 141378447X.
