Babushka Tonya

Only 65 years old; almost the same age as my dad, but looks maybe 15 years older. She is such a sweet woman, to me at least. In one year she buried 8 people who were close to her, from mother, to brother, to son. This was only about a year and a half ago. She recognises this is the reason why she started drinking. I am not suprised, it is a lot of grief for anyone to carry, particularly if they don't know the Lord.

When we first met her she wanted to visit the church where we go, because she liked what she saw in us. Soon after that she disappeared. Now she has returned, and there is another chance for her to get to know her saviour!
