Grandma...

This is my Grandma.  She passed away on May 16th.  She lost the battle of demetia.  I am sad.

But let me tell you about a revalation I had the other day.  My grandmas's legacy lives on.  See this is how I figure it. 

 My mom and I have always said that we have the same quirkiness.  We are weird, kookie and sometimes people don't really get our jokes (but the two of us do).  We even think alike.  The other day I forgot to tell my mom that I loved her before we hung up and so I called her back and guess what.......she was just going to dial my number and say the same thing back.  And the best thing is that we have a lot of fun.  We laugh and laugh and laugh.  Sometime we even cry because we laugh so hard.

My grandma was the same way.  She ALWAYS had some kind of a funny story or at Christmas she gave away funny, weird gifts to make people chuckle.  The last few days as I have been reflecting on my grandma I came to realize that my mom is just like my grandma and I am just like my mom, which actually means....I am just like my grandma.  Hense.....her legacy lives on.

(and ten bucks says my Joey will turn out just like me...the weird and kookie type!)

Another thing that has always made me smile was the way she loved her daughters.  See there was my grandma and her 3 daughters and they had a magical bond.  It was like "happy fairy dust" would float in the air when those 4 would get together and I never saw such happiness.  I do believe that they were great examples of unconditional love that moms, daughters, sisters --- family has.   

We sure love her.  She will ALWAYS be remembered.
