always remembering

11/20/2006

Gram_7this is the time of year i think of my gram most often….

she passed 3 years ago and with the holidays approaching i miss her soo much more

she used to always be the one to make sure we got together… spent time as a family…

i would goto church with her every sunday

in the winter we would cross-country ski together

i remember before i was legally allowed… she would let me drive her car down the street to the store…. i was SOOOO excited

when i was a little girl i used to put on her pastel pink highheels and wear them grocery shopping… i *loved* hearing the click clack on the floors… made me feel sooooo grown up…..

she took me to get my second holes pierced… without the OK from my step mom….. this made me feel awesome!!

i love that she saw me graduate from college… being the first in my family to go, let alone accomplish this task i know made her proud 🙂

i used to always joke…. i promised her she would see me graduate, i couldnt promise her she’d see me get married becuase i never felt i would… or at least not as soon as all my friends had planned 🙂

i miss her every day…. and am like her in many ways…
but i most miss her this time of year, during the holidays

i love you gram… always

    What a lovely tribute to your grandmother-Grandmas are special folks! This is our second Thanksgiving without my dad and my son, Erik. Last year, the pain was so fresh, so raw. It was all we could do to choke down dinner-lots of tears-two empty places at the table. This year, I expect there will be much reminiscing, and hopefully, some laughter. We will be ever so grateful to have one another knowing that life is short and unpredictable. Yes, we miss my dad and our, dear Erik, so, but this year, we will focus more on all the wonderful memories-just as you have!
    Happy Turkey day, my young friend! You are wise beyond your years!
    Ann
