…taught me to love flowers and gardening…cooked my favorite meals…kept me laughing…told me about the birds and bees…taught me to pluck my eyebrows…interrupted my first jr. high kiss (shouldn’t have attempted that in her front yard…my bad)…called me on my honeymoon to see if I had any questions (wink wink), attended every school event I ever participated in, taught me to ride a bike, made me take a nap until I was in the 5th grade, played tag with the grandkids and great grandkids until she was wheelchair bound, kept lots of chocolate at her house, loved to pull pranks on April Fool’s Day, loved sharing family treasures with her grandkids, was always concerned for the “regularity” of all family members (if you know what I mean), told great stories about the adventures of her younger days, loved to read…and she loved me deeper than deep…and she made me feel like the most important person on Earth when I was with her.
She went home to meet Jesus yesterday…she was 88 and I’m so blessed to have had 44 years of being loved by her.
