The world lost a great woman on Monday, June 30th 2008. I am grateful to have had the example of my beautiful grandmother in my life for 24 years. Most, if not all, of my happy childhood memories are those of my grandma. She always took us out to do fun things and she made everything fun. She even tricked me into thinking that housework was fun by telling me I could "play" Cinderella! She also had a wonderful sense of humor. She'd take us to McDonalds to get happy meals for breakfast lunch and dinner if that was what we wanted. All my grandma ever wanted for those that she loved was for them to be happy...and she also wanted that for those she didn't even know as well. My grandmother is the perfect example of charity and selflessness. She would do anything for anyone at anytime never thinking of herself. Although I can never achieve what she has, her example has given me something to aspire to.
I love you Grandma, and I miss you!
Hey, I am so sorry about your grandma...hopefully she and my dad have now met and are talking about how wonderful we are.
ReplyDeleteTake care of yourself, there is a lot of her in you.

Hi Brooke, aren't grandma's so cute? I lost my grandma Hardy when i was 6 years old and then my grandma Frazier when I was about 30 years old. So many great memories. I'm glad she could be a big part of all your happy childhood memories.
