I wanted to let everyone know that today would of been my grandmom's 99th birthday. The first picture is of my daughters with Dot Dot (that is what they called her) and the second picture is of me with my amazing grandmom.
There are certain people in your life that you truly look up to and that you can share anything with no matter what it is and that was my grandmom. She was the one I could talk to about anything and she would always have time for me and give me her view and opinions which I always took to heart.
I have so many fond memories of my grandmom and they will last forever because those are the things that are precise to me in my life. I believe too many people tend to forget about their grandparents but I know that our grandmom was truly loved by everyone in our family. Grandmom was always full of life. We gave her the nickname the "Energizer Bunny" because she just kept on going and going and going.
I was very close to my grandmom and when my mom called me and told me that she had passed away, I felt my heart just rip apart. I just could not believe that she was gone but grandmom led a long and wonderful life and I only hope I get to live to that age and be just as happy and joyous as she was in her life.
Tonight, I will be lighting two candles that are placed on each side of my grandmom's picture on a shelf in my house. Those candles will be lit tonight in her rememberance for all the love, happiness and joy that she brought into my life and everyone else's heart that she has touched.
We love you Grandmom. You are missed but never forgotten.
