Double Fudge Chocolate Brownie

A friend of mine recently said he was sad because life is quite clearly a double fudge chocolate brownie, and we focus on how fattening that is.

If there was anyone who looked at life as a double fudge chocolate brownie, it was my Grandmother. And let me tell you, she never focused on how fattening brownies – or any type of chocolate was – for that matter. She embarked upon every adventure in her life with enthusiasm and optimism. She had a strong soul and lived a healthy, audacious life. As my Dad’s cousin stated, “She was a strong old bird.” And that she was. She flew through life with steadiness and courage, taking it in and never forgetting to look at every hue a flower’s petal held or reading every piece of literature in sight.

She consumed life like it was chocolate and held it dear to her heart. I'll never forget driving home with her a year ago and I put in Rihanna's CD. She and I danced for an entire song. I was half in shock I was dancing with my 92 year old Grandmother and half realized; that was just Grandma.

Her uplifting smile and laugh made me admire her strength and devotion to uplifting God. My Grandma’s two daughters both passed away at a young age, and she outlived all her friends and husband, yet she had marched on with a smile. The only explanation for her living so long is her optimistic life and eyes to the Lord. So at a ripe age of 93, she passed, and I will miss her dearly, but I will never forget her devotion and adventurous, joyous life. She has inspired me to live a similar life; devoted to the Lord and not scared to try that double fudge chocolate brownie life.

Evelyn Bartlo: I love this picture of her. She is beautiful.

She sounds like an amazing grandma. And Rihanna?! That's what I call joie de vivre.
