A beautiful person





So I think I've started this post now about 4 times. Everything I type just doesn't seem like it's enough or quite right.
My grandmother passed away last weekend. Both her and my grandpa were such a huge part of my life. We spent practically every summer with them going to the lake...fishing, swimming. Just having so much fun! So many wonderful memories revolved around them.





My grandma was the most giving and wonderful person. I adored her laugh. I would've done anything funny just to hear her laugh.

One summer when I was little, we were coming back home from a couple of weeks at the lake and we stopped off at a restaurant. I got a big salad and it had some pretty large whole cherry tomatoes in it. My grandma was sitting across from me and I got greedy and put one of those whole tomatoes in my mouth. When I bit down, the juice just squirted right across in her face. I was so embarassed, she let out a scream and started laughing at me. It wasn't on purpose...but got her to laugh!

And yes that's me with her in those bottom two pictures.

I'll miss her terribly, but she's in a better place now. And I'll always have my memories of her.

It is so hard to loose such a special person. Hold on to those memories and remember the good times often. Your grandma will always be in your heart and I love the cherry tomato story. I can just hear the kind of laugh that must have been.
