3. heheh
Mine was the first woman to wear pants or drive a car in her town! She used to put a "charmed circle of light" around me to protect me. We would eat pizza flavored puffs and watch As the World Turns together.

2. There are so many of my favorite
grandma, my dad's mother (maternal grandma died when I was young). She always made family members her special chocolate-peanut butter cake for their birthday. She made the world's greatest cabbage rolls (except she always called them "pigs in a blanket"), using her signature recipe for EVERY family gathering. She was very affectionate, never holding back on hugs or kisses. I could go on and on. She's been gone for thirteen years and I still miss her every single day.

5. when it was rainning my grandpa used to throw holy water on us
draw the shades and tell us not to touch the screen. Really messed me up. He'd also tell stories of people getting hit by lightning.
