The Christianville Spirit
The Spirit that touches lives
April 30, 2008- TCS # 99
OK everyone; it’s time for the next installment of The Christianville Spirit series, “Soundtrack of Your Life”. The person in this installment some know as Grandma Honey, G-Honey, Jan, or Mrs. Smith. To Me, I call her Grandma Honey or G-Honey. So, without further ado this is the Soundtrack of G-Honey’s Life. Let’s kick off from the start, when she was born. She was born and raised in Detroit, Michigan with the name Janette. When she was born, we had yet to learn about awesome and wild she would be. For this will be our first song, “Born to be Wild” by Steppenwolf and While living and being raised in Detroit she was the only child, raised with her four cousins. From Kindergarten to High School she went to Catholic School, for this we’ll play “Here I Am (Majesty)” by Delirious from Kindergarten to 5th Grade. And, we’ll play “Dive” by Stephan Curtis Chapman for 5th Grade to High School. After that, Janette married Warren Smith who people call Budsy, ”The Duke”, and Popi. For this we’ll play “Heaven” by Brian Adams. And, while this is playing; I’ll tell you that they had 4 Children named Brian (Uncle Brian), Julie (My Mom), Craig (Uncle Craig), and Bruce Smith (Uncle Bruce). Later, they moved up to Auburn, ME because Popi found out that it was a lot safer there than living in Ann Arbor, MI and as they start driving toward Auburn, ME we’ll play “Life is a Highway” by Tom Cochrane. While they lived up in Maine, Jan Smith decided to have a program for unwed mothers, which helped them a lot. Well after that, they moved to the East side of Toledo for a short time and she hated living on that end because it was run down. For this and what happened next we’ll play “Hole in the World” by The Eagles. After living in Toledo for a while she unfortunately divorced Popi. And, of course Popi married Sue. And, even though they were divorced and Popi was married, they still loved each other very much. I’m sure even today even though Popi has passed away, she still has the love she had for him. After all this, her job moves her Atlanta, GA and for this we’ll play “Life is a Highway” by Rascal Flatts. Once she moved to Atlanta, she found her first dog to have in Atlanta which was named Taffy. As we stated earlier about the children Popi and G-Honey had. They also had children. Uncle Bruce had Gram, Callie, and Parker. Uncle Craig had Taylor and Anna. Uncle Brian had Lyall, and, of course Julie had me and My Brother. Uncle Bruce, his wife, and his kids are the only ones that live in Atlanta, in the same city as G-Honey. As far as G-honey is today, she loves the beach and wishes she could live there. And, for that we’ll play “Cheeseburgers in Paradise” by Jimmy Buffet but, for right now she lives in Atlanta still and of course has a job with Black Diamond which really cares for her and she cares for them. Now, if you ask me that’s quite an awesome life already and she has much more to live. Who knows what could happen? All in all, though like Popi, she is living a life of wonderfulness, class, and a great legacy.
Thanks for reading The Christianville Spirit. Live everyday as if it were your last!
