This beautiful, confident, fierce, hilarious and generous woman is someone I will remember for the rest of my life.
Grandma and Grandpa welcomed me into their family with zero hesitation and no awkwardness, most of the time, I forgot I hadn't always been blessed with a piece of their hearts, and it made my heart three times bigger when she would forget that I hadn't always been theirs.
Since I received the news that she had gone to be with grandpa, it's been a hard reality to grasp. I had gotten so close and so attached to them in such a short time but, I am thankful for it. There was so much more I should've said, apologies I wish I offered, so much I wish I asked but the lessons I received are ones that I hold close at this time.
I will cherish every moment - from meeting her for the first time, taking her shopping and then eating at waffle house to digging through her collection of jewelry she purchased from some place or another because "something could be of value", and especially when we would all just sit in the living room crowding them both - listening to their family talk with the most love and content anyone could imagine.
I hope she knew how much I loved her, how thankful for both of them I am. My heart and thoughts stay with their children, their grandchildren, their great grandchildren and the people who got to experience the light that she brought into a room by just simply entering it. She loved her family more than words can say and I hope there is comfort in that undeniable fact.
I love you grandma, I hope it's as beautiful as you wondered. See you later <3
