My heart is broken...
I have never felt a loss as great as losing my precious, God-loving grandma.
She was THE. BEST. period.
I loved her more than words and now she is gone.
I have moments where I understand and know it's for the best. Then I have my moments where I can't understand why she's gone no matter how hard I try.
She's only been gone 2 days and it seems impossible to imagine my life without her.
Our family holidays will never be the same...someone will always be missing.
When I was little and stayed the night, we'd always stop by the grocery store to pick up my favorite cereals and snacks. You would have thought I was staying a week instead of 1 night! As a kid, I thought that was so exciting! Plus, Grandma always had a stock of Oreos and milk!
Grandma didn't love to have her picture taken, but she would tolerate it for us girls!
Thanks to my generous grandma, we never went back to school without snazzy new school clothes! She would let us get whatever we wanted, which is why I'd come home with the craziest, loudest clothes Dillards made in the 80's and 90's!
As far as grandmas go, she was perfect! Growing up, my grandma was my Sunday School teacher which I loved! When I was in a different class, I remember running up the stairs (late of course) and she would be sitting in her room, in the doorway view and I'd always run and give her a hug before I went to my own class! I'm pretty sure we'd beg to go home with her every Sunday after church.
To capture her true smile, you'd have to catch her off guard!
It kills me inside to think that my grandma will never meet my children, knowing they would adore her.
My grandma loved to shop! Must be where I get that from! She would plan a shopping trips with her 5 sisters and never came home empty-handed where her grandchildren were concerned. We were totally spoiled!
My heart just can't understand...
