Most of you know that my grandma Betty passed away last November...
The first thing that you see when you walk in my home is a picture of the "love birds" my grandma and her lover boy...I put it there to remind me everyday when I come home what a true love commitment is, and to remind me that I need to spread my love to those around me.. (as she did)
Well, I miss her, this warm weather reminds me of taking off to grandmas house and going to the "clubhouse pool"..enjoying her cooking & her taking care of me all weekend!
Yes, even as an adult, when you went to grandmas house..you were officially excused from ALL work, even making your own lunch..
Gotta love it!! But oh how I miss her smile, her hugs and just her spirit..she found laughter in just about everything! Her laughter would fill the house at family functions, but her laughter also filled my heart, filled me with the desire to laugh with her, and enjoy life as she does!
I have only my memories now, so I will cherish the sound of her voice, her laughter and remember her in my heart...I miss her so much...
It saddens me that I will never be able to call my grandma with the news that I'm pregnant (I'm not) and hear her scream & laugh...
So mom, is you are reading this, I fully expect a SCREAM, LOUD LAUGH and maybe even a few tears of joy...(when the news does happen)
No one will ever take the place of my grandma, but I can take the lessons learned from her and "share" her. She always laughed, always loved, and was always thankful.
Thank you grandma! I love you and miss you everyday
Jeremiah 29:11 The Message I'll show up and take care of you as I promised and bring you back home. I know what I'm doing. I have it all planned out—plans to take care of you, not abandon you, plans to give you the future you hope for.
Philippians 4:8-9
whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things. 9Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me—put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you.

So you thought I needed a good cry today? I miss her too, so very much! She was one of those people who leave a huge hole in a family, and in each of our hearts. How can we give away her sofa?
