Why We Love Our Grandma
From: Her favorite Dozen
We love Grandma for her thoughtfulness. She always remembered a birthday with a card that always spoke from her heart. Each year for Christmas she knitted one special blanket for each of us to have to remember her for the rest of our lives. We will always remember her kind words that she spoke when we would visit “how are you” and then quickly she would add “what would you like”. She knew each of us had our favorite foods and on many occasions she would prepare it ahead of time. We will always remember her famous fluffy cheesecake, the meatloaf dinner, the grill cheese sandwiches, and especially her pink bunny juice. It will be difficult not to remember Grandma on New Years day when she prepared her annual chop suey dinner for all our families at her home.
Grandma was always there; if we were sick at school and may have needed a ride home she would be there to pick us up and take care of us until our parents came home. She would attend many of our school activities and she was always there for family events. We played cards and games and put puzzles together with Grandma…and sometimes just talked or sat silently in each others company… she always had the time for us. When we needed a shopping buddy she was always willing but we had to hustle to keep up with her fast walking pace.
We all admired Grandma for how independent she was. She would travel with friends and go places unknown without the slightest fear. She would take numerous trips to visit us even out of state where she would always get down on the floor and play with her great-grandchildren. Grandma would mow her own grass and snow blow her driveway. She never complained because she didn’t want to burden us by interrupting our schedule. Even as we started to take over her lawn duties, we could never figure out how she kept her grass the fluffiest in all of Muskegon.
As well as being a real modern women “Grandma with the white hair,” was also noble and dignified. She looked ever so beautiful in purple as she wore it often and never liked to wear yellow. We will never forget Grandma leading the dance line at several of our wedding receptions, even just a few years ago.
What Grandma taught us the most was her accepting attitude of life and people and how she lived it every day. Even as we married she loved our spouses as much as she loved us. We know as grandchildren she accepted us with all our differences and loved us all equally.
Yup, yup, so yah know, well that is the way it goes, so I guess that’s all.##imported-begin##The Grandkids##imported-end##
God bless your family in this time of sadness and loss. Our prayers are with all of you.
