Saturday, April 5th was the anniversary of our little Grandmother's passing. Lately I have moments when I think of her and forget that she is not here. One day I was cooking and I had a question, and I thought to myself, I can call Grandma and ask her... Then I was driving to Babies R US and I saw a LOL ( little old lady) in her car and I actually thought, oh I should go over to Morningside and visit Grandma. It is odd to me that you can have a complete thought and feeling about someone so naturally, only then to catch yourself and remember that they are gone. I guess I am either really sleep deprived (which is highly possible) or that I am surrounded by so many things that remind me of her. Even though she is not here, she will never be gone or forgotten. Something everyday reminds me of her... from making banana bread, tulips blooming, or making a white sauce. At Easter we gave Mom a Bradford Pear tree in memory of Grandma. I am sure most of you remember the one blooming outside of her window at Johnston Willis Hospital. Again, I don't think I will be able to see one and not think of her. I guess it has also made me realize how many things I learned from my Grandmother. I love that we live close and that my children will continue to grow up with their Grandparents. I know they will have the same treasured memories as I do.
