“I’ve really had limited vision since ’08, but I more or less try to be too independent, I think.  [laugh]  I like to do things on my own.  I get frustrated when people take over, you know when I’m tryin‘ to do somethin‘ and they do it for me.  I don’t like that. [laugh]

A lot of times I’m trying to do something and I get real frustrated.  Then I say well Lord, You said You would help me.  Then all of a sudden I know how to do it with the help of the good Lord.

Family, particularly my grand and great grands…well I better not leave my daughter out, she’ll kill me…  [laugh]  they really brighten up my life and give me a lot of inspiration to live a full life.

When my great grands are down, they just brighten up the world.  I just sit and look at them and just revert back to how I enjoyed life as a child and teenager.  So that gives me that smile to give them to let them know that it’s okay.

I mean, the young one always says ‘gran…how old you be?‘   When I tell her,  she’s like  ‘Oh my God you’re old.‘  I’m like that’s okay honey.  That’s fine because if you keep living, you’re gonna get old.  [laugh]  So it’s okay.”
