As I read the first paragraph, it made me think of you. In so many ways, you are your grandmother, and you should be proud of that. You are the place your grandchildren, and even those who are not, come to for Sunday dinner, and for every other need they might have in-between. I often think (normally to myself of course), that even though you are weak in body now, you are the strongest person I have ever known. See, I often say my greatest fear would be to have the physical difficulties you have, because God did not make me as strong as you, maybe because I've always had you to lean on, so I never had to be the strong one. I remember my grandmother as well...different kind of memories, but still special and with the same respect all the same. I miss pay-day, when I would clean her car, and she would pay me $10 (that was a big deal back in those days), but I think for the both of us, it was more about just hanging around each other, and spending time together. We would then go to eat...Famous Recipe Chicken was our favorite place to go. She wasn't much of a cook, as neither am I. Guess I took after my grandmother as well! :) As family traditions go, Sarah will take after her grandmother, and she needs you in her coming teenage years and beyond, so that she can gain from you, what you gained from your grandmother. It never really hit me until this exact moment, just how much we take from our grandmothers. We love our mothers, and they hold a very special place in our hearts, but we tend to somehow bond, and hold with us in character, those things which we have shared with our grandmothers...both being equally special! Love you mom, and I already see Sarah admiring you with the same respect, and preparing, even now, for when the time comes for her to carry on you legacy...:)Ms. Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08704966844589968545noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4109124867552992397.post-85691460990327509232009-09-28T20:27:20.777-07:002009-09-28T20:27:20.777-07:00Valerie,

I have too have been thinking of my grandmother for the past few weeks, ever since my family came for a visit. My mom brought me a box of my grandmothers items. I could not even open the box until everyone had left or went to bed. I just sat on the floor with tears running down my face unwrapping all the items. The biggest surpise was my mom put in my grandfathers wall thermoniter he had in his den. What a box of treasured gifts. I too hope that my grandchildren - when they come along -no grandchildren yet- will have the same feelings as I have for my grandmother and grandfather. I am sure that you grandchildren will treasure you as you treasured her!! You are a special lady!

Those are so special, nothing can take them from you, they are real and a part of you. For the past couple years we have grown to know each other pretty well and I know that your children and grandchildren will have very similar memories of you. I suppose that is what it is all about, leaving a loving legacy to our families to be passed down in generations. As your Grandma has left a footprint in your heart, so have you in your grandchildren, and I'm certain the same will be instilled in generations to come. Family....that's what it all comes down to. Cherish your memories, your Grandma was a very special lady and I know that she is looking down on you and smiling. ♥Stitchesnstrokeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02063044016604513648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4109124867552992397.post-2620607527255829802009-09-27T22:02:30.607-07:002009-09-27T22:02:30.607-07:00How wonderful that you have such vivid and loving ...How wonderful that you have such vivid and loving memories of your grandma! I think that having those memories connects us with each person before us. Kind of a tapestry. She continues to be an influence on you and you are that to your grandchildren. The best part of our memories are that anywhere anytime we can close our eyes, sit right next to the ones we love, and feel all the love just like no time passed. Your grandma must have been some special lady because you have those qualities as well!! Blessings, DawnHarvest Your Blessingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09711527818728946996noreply@blogger.com
