My Gramma

Today would have been my Gramma's 89th birthday. 

My Gramma's favorite place to eat was KFC.  Nothing fancy, but she loved it.  So today on her birthday we went to dinner at KFC.  It is our tradition cause we know how much she loved that fried chicken :)

I woke up this morning and the first thing I thought of was her.  My Gramma was the most amazing, most beautiful, most loving woman I have ever known.  She and I had a special relationship, whenever I talked to her I felt like she was my best friend in the whole world.  She was always there for me telling me like it is and giving me all the love in her heart.  I think about my Gramma each and every day and I miss her so much.  I know she wouldn't want me to cry, she would say, oh Jennifer I am happy in heaven with Grampa and Pop, stop your crying.  But I can't help it, I just miss her voice and her laugh so much.  Gramma was the BEST story teller.  I absolutely loved hearing all of her stories about her life, she did have such an AMAZING life.  My Gramma was and is so so special in my life.  I know she has shaped the person I have become today and I hope she is watching down on me and is proud. 

Just wanted to share a few pics of her.  She was so beautiful and her smile shined in every room.

  1. Gramma was an AMAZING lady. And nothing in this whole world did she love more than you and Michael...until Ellie and Tatum came along!!! Her family was her life. And she smiles down from heaven everyday on Camdyn and Holden...and laughs that they were born 32 minutes apart!!! Quite a sense of humor!!! I just hope I can grow up to be the same kind of Gramma she was-loving unconditionally and totally. xoxoxo

  2. Your Grandma was a special lady. She loved her family and as we all know deserts were a close second. I loved spending time with her because she always had something to say. I think of her often and see so many of her qualities in you Jennifer. I will be having that birthday lunch at KFC today. God Bless you all, she is definitely proud of you.
