This post is very hard for me to write because I don't want to deal with the reality that I won't see Grandma for a very long time and I already miss her. I loved the fact that I could tell me friends how awesome my grandma was. She had the cutest outfits on with her hair and nails always done. She spent her time walking (very fast), dancing, and hanging out with friends. Family was always the most important thing to her and it was truly amazing that she LOVED each and every one of us. One of her famous sayings was, "Can you believe I started all of this?" And she was so dang proud when she said this.
I loved that as a child I was able to go and stay at her house in Holbrook. I have so many memories from there. I loved sitting in her built in bench seat and choosing the best cereals from her cupboard. I loved always waking up knowing that Grandma had been up for hours with her cup of coffee. I loved playing with her little perfume bottles. I loved that every Christmas we got a new Christmas dress and we knew that with it came the fact that we would later be modeling it for her.
As I got older I loved the EARLY morning phone calls that came to our house from Grandma. I loved that with the birth of each child came an adorable outfit and a visit from her at the hospital. I loved that she always told us how she had been to the salon, hospital, anywhere really...and showed everyone there the pictures of the cutest greatgrandkids she had. I love that in the end she let us know that she was ready to go, she needed to go be with grandpa. She will sure be missed, but she was ready to go and visit with grandpa.
