Grandma

Hi All! Sorry I haven't blogged in awhile. I've been going through some tough family struggles recently. On March 20th my Grandma Betty passed away. It has been extremely hard for me. I've lived a very sheltered life, I've never really lost anyone close to me, except for family pets. I've been lucky enough to really get to know both of my Grandparents. This feeling doesn't comparing, it's pure raw emotion and it really sucks. I miss her so much!

My grandma and grandpa have always been there for me and my siblings. My dad is an only child so we were their only grandchildren so they always made sure we were taken care of. They were always giving us money for clothes and groceries and sending us letters via snail mail (I still have all of them). I remember onetime my grandparents were heading up north to visit my parents and they had to pick me up along the way. My Grandma knew raspberries are my favorite fruit so when they came to get me she had two containers waiting for me! Another fond memory I have is when I was young I would go over to my Grandmas house and I would head straight for her jewelry (she had the best costume jewelry)! I would wear her clip on earrings and necklaces while sing and dancing on their fireplace hearth (aka my stage).

It's so sad how fast time flies, seriously I feel like it was just yesterday we would go over to their house for Halloween or Christmas. Please, cherish and make memories with your loved ones while they're still around, because we never know what the future holds for us.
