Reba McEntire won the Country Music Association’s “best singer” award four times in a row following her breakthrough in the late 1970s and early 1980s. Naturally, she is also honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
However, Reba has also had her fair share of personal traumas, so life has not always been easy for her, even with her amazing profession and wealth.
Reba’s mother Jacqueline, at 93 years old, lost her fight with illness in 2022.
She was completely prepared to pass away and had lived a lovely, long, and healthy life. The country music performer posted on social media, “The cancer may believe it has won the fight, but we’re giving God all the credit for choosing the time for her to go home to Him.”
Jacqueline McEntire’s desire of becoming a professional country singer was always realized when she taught Reba to sing, fulfilling her dream via her daughter.
We all know how much she loved us, and she left knowing how much love she had.Reba remarked, “We have so many amazing memories, but we’re going to miss her.

Reba is well aware of the suffering associated with loss and grief.

Thirty-two years ago on March 16, she lost her tour manager in a horrific plane crash after a concert, along with seven other band members.
I recall that 1991 day. I heard about the crash on the radio as I was heading to work. I felt my heart skip a beat, thinking that Reba was on the plane too.
She wasn’t, though.
After playing in San Diego on March 16, 1991, Reba and her band were on their way to Fort Wayne, Indiana, for their next tour stop.
At the airport in San Diego, two flights were waiting; Reba, her husband, and manager spent the night in San Diego, while the band members and tour manager traveled on ahead.
Ten miles east of the airport, the first aircraft tragically met its demise.

Reba has frequently honored her deceased friends throughout the years.
She opened out about the day her band broke up in an emotional 2012 interview with Oprah Winfrey.
“Everyone on board was killed when the airplane’s tip struck a rock on the side of Otay Mountain,” McEntire said to Winfrey.
“Our pilot was contacted, and Narvel, Reba’s manager, went to meet with him to inform us of what had occurred. When Narvel returned to my hotel room at two or three in the morning, he informed me that one of the planes had crashed. I said, “Are they okay?” In his words, “I don’t think so.” “But you’re not sure?” I asked. I don’t think so, he said.
Reba remembered the events of the disaster, tears welling up in her eyes.

“Narvel was calling from room to room while holding a phone,” she started, stopping when tears welled up in her eyes. “I apologize, but even after 20 years, it seems like it will never stop hurting,” she remarked. But that chamber is visible to me. Narvel is moving back and forth, as I can see.
It’s been 32 years since the crash. She recently recalled the terrible events of that day by sharing a picture of her band on Instagram.
She shared another homage to her friends in 2020.
“I lost my pals in a plane tragedy 29 years ago today. It seems fitting that Mama passed away on that anniversary,” she writes.

“I am aware that they are all together in Heaven, looking out for one another. Let’s continue to look out for one another while we’re still on this planet and never take a moment for granted to spend with our loved ones.
Soon after, Reba’s admirers rallied behind the country music icon.
Many folks sent prayers and good vibes.
“Reba I’ve always admired your music, our mutual love of horses, and now that I follow you on Instagram.May God bless you and your mother. A fan wrote.
Reba showed once more this year, in 2023, that she still grieves the terrible loss of her pals and that she will never forget them.
She posted a video of the group performing together along with the message, “Their love for music and the stage gives us all the strength to go on.”
I apologize, Reba. You are an amazing woman; stay strong. You make so many people happy that there is a reason God has preserved you on this planet. Keep grinning!
My Grandson’s Emotional Reversal

The Unique Function of Grandparents
Grandparents have a distinct place in the world; they are a source of great love, wisdom, and insight. For their grandchildren, they offer emotional support, direction, and role modeling. They are always willing to listen and offer assistance. Having grandparents entails having friends that are always there for us.
A Story of a Grandmother
A grandmother related a tale about her close relationship with her grandson Simon. Simon listened to her stories and helped around the house throughout their many days together. But as Simon got older, their dynamic shifted. He ultimately stopped phoning and gradually stopped coming. Bewildered and saddened, the grandma told herself that Simon was simply occupied with his pals.

The Debate
The grandma went to the home of her grandson and daughter one day. Simon acted as though she didn’t exist by ignoring her. His disrespect was shocking to his mother, who reprimanded him. Everyone was shocked by Simon’s aggressive answer. “She’s the only grandmother I know who doesn’t give gifts!” he remarked. The grandmothers of all my pals spoil them. She has never sent anything to me.
The Repercussions
Simon’s mother reprimanded him for his materialistic mindset, telling him that spending time with his grandma ought to be sufficient. As things grew worse, Simon stormed into his room, breaking his grandmother’s heart. She never thought that her inability to purchase gifts was the reason for his actions. She went to Simon’s room to apologize, but he persisted in being impolite, referring to her as the “worst grandmother.”
Years Apart
The grandmother made the decision to visit less often since she felt rejected. Simon eventually lost contact with his parents after they relocated to a different nation. The granny was quite lonely and missed them. She was unaware of Simon’s life and he never sought out to her.

Forgiveness and Reconciliation
The grandmother lost hope of ever seeing her family as the years went by. Her door was knocked on one day. Simon, a fully grown guy, was in front of her. He apologized in a quiet, regretful voice for his previous actions, acknowledging that they had been painful and stupid. Simon gave his grandma a hug and begged for pardon for their years apart. He clarified that he was too ashamed to contact her until now, even though he acknowledged his sins at the age of 16.
A Fresh Start
Simon disclosed that he had set aside funds to purchase a home within the community. He wanted to live with her so he could take care of her because his company was moving him. Grateful beyond measure, the grandma accepted the chance to be with him once more and granted him her complete forgiveness.

The Instruction
This touching tale highlights the value of understanding, forgiveness, and the special relationship that exists between grandparents and grandchildren. It serves as a reminder that the value of love and quality time spent together surpasses that of material belongings. Let’s value and treasure the unique bond we have with our grandparents.

Give Love to Others
Please tell your family and friends about this endearing tale. Let’s honor the strength of forgiveness and love!
