Missing my Grandma.....

Almost daily on my way to work I pass the assisted living place that my Grandma Ann spent the last few years of her life. Today as I passed I missed Grandma terribly!!! Maybe it is because it is a Thurs and I usually saw her on Thurs cause it was my Mom's day to visit and I would meet them every couple weeks or so for lunch and a visit. Maybe it is because she was one of my BEST friends and she often told me how great I am and the influence that I had on her life--despite my feelings of inadequacy at times for not having a family of my own. Maybe it is because she truly listened to all the stories I had to tell and shared so many of her own that I have never heard! And offered such great advice for anything that may have been challenging me. Maybe it is cause I have gone through so many changes this year and not been able to share them with her and get her advice on what to do next in my life. Maybe it is because the Holidays are approaching and I tried to take her a little something for every holiday even the small ones.

But I think mostly it is simply because she was one AMAZING woman!!! She touched so many peoples lives and has brought so much joy to many. She wasn't know through out the world by millions but she touched the most important people.....her family! I am honored to be able to call her my grandma and friend! I hope that as I continue on my journey here that I can continue to make her proud of all that I do! Love you lots Grandma!!!
