This post is special to me because it is my Grandma's Birthday today. She is home with the Lord but I miss her so dearly and I still honor her on her Birthday every year.
My Grandmother was a strong woman and I am the woman I am today due to my Grandma.
She taught me to cook, knit, always had advice for me all the time. I spent my school vacations with her and if there was no school on Monday I would sleep over then go to church that was down the street where I met my folks and then went right back to Grandma's home. I also spent all summer vacation with her and I LOVED every minute of it!! She was my Grandma but she also was my very Best Friend and she was more of a Mother to me than anything.
Here is a picture of her when she was younger. I have so many, many awesome, wonderful memories of her but I do have to say that when she went home to be with the Lord she had a massive stroke walking downtown with her sister so it was a HUGE shock. I fell apart and when she died so did a part of my heart died with her. I lost not only my Grandmother but my BF and Mother that day.
I know that she is with the Lord and is happy and I will be with her again when I go home. I am sure she will be waiting right there for me. I love you, Grandma! XOXOXOX!
Here is my Grandma with her sisters and the one on the left side in the back was a family friend.
Grandma I wish you a Happy Birthday and a BIG thank you for loving me for me. I am the wife,mother and friend I am today because of you. I was a very lucky gal to have such an amazing woman in my life and that taught me so much and also taught me about life.
I love you and Happy Birthday!
Love your Granddaughter
Tricia XOXOXO

I'll bet your grandma is looking over you now. And, sometimes bet you can feel her with you or a scent that is familiar. I'm hoping my grandson will feel my presence after I pass.

ReplyDeleteI look at old pics as well and it is very sad not to have these people around anymore. I never thought they would ever disappear. Aunts uncles grand parents Mothers Fathers. Sometimes you still want to ask a question and you turn but then remember they are not there anymore.You now have taken the torch to pass on to your kids but today its not easy as families are ripped apart and do not live as close anymore.
