  • 4. Close Your Mouth, Open Your Eyes: Grandpa's Departing Reflections on Life, Love, and Legacy
    In this poignant episode, we pay tribute to the wisdom and insights of a remarkable individual that I'm honored to call my Grandpa. Join us as we delve into a heartfelt conversation with him about his childhood growing up in poverty during the 1950s, the amazing relationships he's developed over the course of his life, and the incredible risks that he's taken along the way. My hope and prayer for everyone listening is that you will discover the joy of living--and loving--well, as my Grandpa exemplified so beautifully through the witness of his life.
    From a very young age, my Grandpa made a commitment to do whatever it took to take care of the people he loved. During our conversation at his hospice bedside, we uncover some of the practical ways we can carry that decision into fruition and develop more meaningful relationships with those right around us. It isn't easy, but Grandpa provides us with simple ways we can express our gratitude for others, celebrating their growth and seizing every opportunity to let them know they are cherished. :)
    Prepare to be inspired as we explore how a collection of small, deliberate actions can create lasting change in the world. This episode is a reminder to us all to keep our eyes wide open to the opportunities we have to bless others. Never underestimate your ability to impact the world. After all, it's a whole bunch of us doing the little things that will translate into a world forever changed! ☆

    This episode was recorded four days before he passed away. Our conversation is posted here as a digital memorial to commemorate his life and provide a glimpse of his wisdom for those who did not get the privilege of knowing him personally. May his words guide you toward a life filled with deeper connection, undeniable purpose, and greater appreciation for the beauty of life.
    Larry Abney (February 21, 1950 ~ January 24, 2023) | Rest in peace, Grandpa. I love you! ♡
