Well I did not make it to my friends party tonight because of all the snow!
I am so looking forward to April when the snow stops and I can visit people again!

FINDING GRAM
My gram died back in July ~ I miss her!
On Monday when I was preparing for my tea I thought of her and cried
I could actually hear her in my heart telling me that she was with me
~~~~
Tomorrow while we bake cookies... I know I will think of her often, that was our thing
My gram, my mom and I would make and bake for Christmas
Gram flattened the nutroll cookies with the bottom of a glass and then spread the nuts evenly over the dough and roll them so tight with her beautiful hands
As we made more and more cookies Gram would clean the messes and make lunch
~~~
Grams service when she died was beautiful... my Uncle made programs and every once in a while my hubby will come across the program around the house or in his car... it really is the darnedest thing, he will put the program in one place only to have it appear in another
He will look up with his baby blue eyes and ask Gram what she is trying to say to him
Today he found the program again...
and tonight he came across a birthday card from her to me with $10.00 in it in our filing cabinet
~~~~
She always signed the cards "luv u Gram"
I smiled when I saw the card and teared up because I miss her.
When we "find" Gram around the house or in the car it is a blessing... the hubby rolls his eyes sometimes because he is not "into it" like I am ... deep down though I know he believes she is telling us she is still around
I will miss her tomorrow... a little more than I do today
But I know that I will feel the tug at my heart and feel her presence with us
~~~~
I like finding Gram... and someday when my time is through here on earth I will find her and will get to keep her close!
Oh what a wonderful legacy she left you. You were much loved....I'm sure she would appreciate your beautiful tribute to her.
ReplyDeleteThe last sentence of your post is heart tugging..you must miss her so much.....someday you will find her.
Merry Christmas to you and your family.
~Ah! How wonderful to have know her so well. You were lucky. She sounds like she was a great lady and I'm sure she is watching you and smiling.
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas and many blessings! ~Melissa :)
I promise I won't bog down your site with all these comments! I just wanted to say, I know how you feel. I lost my beloved grandpa a year ago, and every once in a while, my 19 mo. old daughter (who only got to meet him once- and she was 4 months old) will wake up from a nap and say him name and have a 'jibber jabber' conversation. Its comforting to think they are still here somehown.
