Her and I had a relationship that was truly special. I know every relationship with a grandparent is a treasured one but Grammy and I were somewhat kindered spirits... to use a cliche. Her and I have always had an amazing connection that I can not find a way to describe. I am no where near as bright and joyful as she was and that is something I hope to attain one day. All of her memorial postings speak of her smile and caretaking personality that is truly missed. She had a way of bringing a smile to everyone's face that was around her and she spoke with true care for all those around her. You could hear it in her voice just how much she loved you and feel it in one of her hugs.
She was also a very strong woman that spoke her mind and let you know how she felt but it always came across in a loving way even if she was disciplining you.... and those of you as parents know that is not an easy thing to do. She was never afraid during all of this and spoke about her death as a fact of life and she knew she would be in a better place. I thank the Lord every moment I can that she was not in pain until her last day. I am glad she was able to pass at home with my papa who loved her so very much. They spent their last days enjoying each other's company and watching TV and doing everything together which is the way she would have wanted it. Papa even told me many times today just how very special I was to Grammy. He even said "Of course I love you but you were so special to Grammy.... " and I truly know it. We were going through the pictures of Grammy and a good amount were of her and I.
I wrote her a mother's day card this year telling her of my love for her and all of the memories I have of us and it really sank in today after reading it that she is really gone.
I love you so very much Grammy and we will bake brownies and you can scratch my back in Heaven.
