You know how some people in your life have shaped you into who you are today? Well this wonderful little lady is one of those people for me. And when I say "little", I mean really little. I was approximately one foot taller than my Granma Kathy, maybe an inch or so more. People would look at us, and just laugh. I'm extra glad I didn't get her height, but I would take her awesomeness any day.
She is one of the most wonderful people I know. We had so many fun times together. I would spend weeks at a time at her house in Preston. She spoiled me rotten. Sometimes when I start to think about those times together, my heart aches so badly. I miss her so much!
I'm sure you have noticed that I spelled Grandma wrong. Well let me tell you why. When I was a little girl, I wrote a cute little card to my Grandma, but I spelled it just a little bit wrong. After that, my cute little Granma wrote it that way for the rest of her life. I loved reading her cards and seeing that at the end of them. I would read it and then ask her "Grandma, you know why it's spelled like this right?" And she would reply with "yes Erin, I do." And then she would laugh her amazing infectious laugh! I just love her!
Granma and KJ share a birthday. When he was born, she said that he was the best birthday present she has ever gotten. This is her with her birthday buddy.
I love you Granma! I hope I can make you proud, and carry on your wonderful legacy of love and kindness. I miss you!
P.S. Is there potato salad, shrimp dip, peaches, croquet, and Rummikub in heaven. If not, you need to work on that! :)
