My Grandma

I was sitting with my girls watching a cartoon called Little Bear and it was an episode where Little Bear was at his grandparents house playing with his Grandfather Bear. It made me think of my Grandma. I am so thankful for the years that I had with her. She passed away when I was 21 years old. She was never a wealthy woman and didn't bye us alot and that was fine. She gave us what was more important than material things she gave us her time. Grandma's door was always open. She sat at the kitchen table all the time and when we would go visit her which was often that is where we spent most of our time except for in the warm weather and then we were out in the yard. Grandma was really my only grandparent she was my Mom's Mom. My Grandparents on my Dad's side passed when I was young. Grandma loved playing games with us we would spend hours at the table playing cards or Yahtzee she loved that game. She taught me to cook and always raved over my cooking if I made something. We worked in the garden and she let me help her can. My Grandma was a good woman I knew that she had faults but that never stopped my love for her and I truly miss her. I could talk to her about anything she always had an ear to listen. She shared my joys and sorrows. I had lost my first pregnancy before she passed and I wasn't sure that I would be able to have children. She loved kids and I really wish that she would have been able to see my girls. I am so thankful that God allowed me such a great Grandmother.

I can remember so many times setting at your grandma's table playing card, yahtzee or just talking. She even treated me as one of her grandchildren. I am thankful that the lord allowed you to have a grandma like that.
