I remember .
. .
Your quick speech, always in a hurry
Your fried fruit pies, buttermilk
biscuits and grease gravy
All the time you spent talking with your
grandchildren.
The strict diet you kept while cooking
our favorite foods
Always tithing to your church, donating to TV preachers and taking us to church
Wearing slacks under your dress to
church when it was cold
Words . . .
Faith
Prayer
Worker
Things . . .
Bible
Crystal Jewelry
Plans
Stories . . .
The huge, long belt you kept rolled up to always remember your
weight loss
Going on the train to help family members
Of growing up without a mother and
becoming a mother to 3 little girls overnight
And how you let us rummage through your
dresser drawers
And save newspapers with articles you
thought we should read
You always made us feel loved
We miss you, Grandma. I will always love
you.
oh wow...what a wonderful woman, it sounds like you were a wonderful recipient of her love and care and that you will teach the lessons to those that you love xo
ReplyDeleteHaving a great grandma and getting the chance to be a great grandma is one of life's best blessings!
ReplyDeleteThanks for posting this. My Grandmother would have been 91 on March 27th. She died 5 years ago and we still miss her very much!!
ReplyDeleteYour grandma sounds like an amazing woman...and how wonderful to celebrate her this way.
ReplyDeleteYour grandma sounds wonderful. I hope someday I'm as good a grandma.
ReplyDeleteGrandma was very unique, always busy and showing us how much she cared for us. I am glad you got that sense of her from the poem. I, too, hope I can be a good grandma when I get an opportunity.
