Today is Raegan’s Mom’s birthday. She passed away almost 3 years ago. Every year on her birthday we like to have a little birthday party for her. Nothing big, we eat cupcakes, sing to Grandma and talk about our favorite memories of her. McKayla is really the only child who remembers her and I think it is good for the other girls to remember they have another Grandma and hear some stories about her.
Grandma is one of the most amazing women I’ve ever known! I love her like I love my own mother (another fabulous woman!). She taught me so many things. She bought me my first bill book and showed me how to use it, a method I am still using today to pay my bills. She taught me how to tie a quilt. She was great to come to when one of my little ones got hurt because she was definitely not the freak out type. She did more genealogy than any person I know, I wish I had taken time to learn that from her. Grandma loved all of her grandkids and each one thought they were her favorite.
So...
Grandma, we hope you can hear us singing to you on your birthday!! We love you so much and can’t wait until we see you again!!
I wish I could be there singing with you. I went out and got my own bit of ice cream to celebrate my wonderful mom. I will miss her always and think of her often. Time seems to have flown by since she died and a the same time not to have moved at all. Love you mom.
