Sleep overs on the couch my favorite snacks always at your house Coffee from the gas station sugar covered donut twists Then for lunch the best grilled cheese sandwiches Sitting in your brown recliner one foot on your little brown stool I would sit across from you As we watched your programs in the early afternoon The yard so full of trees one planted just for me. A house built just for our family Christmas, Easter, Thanksgiving Holidays spent in your Livingroom. Helping rake the yard of endless leaves putting Christmas lights around the trees picking up sticks to mow the yard Putting up Christmas decorations before the ground got hard Staying over the night before Christmas eve to help set up for the family gathering Watching as you made your noodles. The tree stood tall in the corner by the porch door beneath it presents galore! Though the lights and such are nice, the thing I'll miss the most is spending the night. As spring approached Waiting for the snow to melt so we could help unstring the lights from the trees And wrap extension cords up tight Storing the decorations away for next years holiday. Helping hide eggs for little ones watching them search is so much fun I miss your smile as you helped count as each grandchild dumped their basket out. Us older kids got treats too thank you There is so much more that I want to share. And though I wish your time here had been longer, to ask any more of you would not be fare. I want you to know you helped make me stronger. Thank you Grandma Love and miss you |

This is a very sweet tribute. I have one living Grandmother who I never get to see. The one that is gone nurtured a lot of things I loved to do when no one else did. I miss her, but I've never been able to find words for her.

Heartwarming message and tribute. My grandmother passed while I was young. Been over 30 years and I still have crystal clear memories of all the little things she did for all of her grandchildren. I am glad my grandmother wasn't the only special one. I feel you loss. Michael |
