She has always been an inspiration to me and my memories of her are full of love and so much fun.
She made me go on my 1st roller coaster at Lagoon at age 5. I cried the whole time until it was over and I am a coaster fanatic now because of her.
When she would visit us in California as kids she would take me out and show me how to body surf. Because of that, playing in the waves has always been the best part of going to the beach.
She would take us on nature walks in the forest when we were visiting our cabin in Idaho. She taught me how to fish and take a leach off your skin from the lake.
She made the best home made noodles after Thanksgiving and then made turkey noodle soup that was so good! She always told me to get the hair out of my beautiful eyes and eat my oranges.
She told me how much she loved me and I always believed her. She would take your face in her soft old hands and kiss your cheek and you felt lake you were being touched by an angel.
The older I get the more I want to be just like her in every way.

She is dying now and I am going to miss her. It will be any day and I am ready for her to have her rest she so much deserves. To be back with her sweetheart and family who have gone before her, it will be such a sweet reunion.
We went to see her this weekend and I got to tell her what her life has meant to me and how much I love her. She talked to each of us and gave us her words of wisdom, encouragements and advise. This moment will always be with me, Art and the boys.
I love you Grandma. God be with you til we meet again.

I am sorry to hear about your grandma. You're very lucky to have had her this long. Our thoughts and prayers are with your family.
What a beautiful post Wendy...when you become a grandma with your two sons remember her example, you are already well on your way to being that wonderful, thoughtful person.
Wow. That was beautiful. That was a wonderful way to put into words what she meant to you and all of us. Hmm, maybe you should have been a speaker at the funeral. ;)
