I miss my Grandmother today |
|
She could always make me laugh...and knew how to tell a story like nobody's business. One day, we were sitting on my Grandmother's front porch, and I asked her, "How do you stay so cheerful-- after all you've been through?" I remember her slow Southern drawl, as she replied, "Sheri, if I wore my emotions on my sleeve nobody'd want to be around me!"
I could really use one of her stories today. *sigh*

3. She sounds like she was a very cool lady. |

:hug:
My husband's Great-Grandma (she's 96) cracks me up, too. Last year at Thanksgiving, she made a cat-call at me and hollered, "Sex-y!" :rofl:
Women like them make the thought of getting older seem alright. :-)

My Grandmother was a 'hoot' to be around also. We had some excellent adventures together. This time of year always brings our loved ones to mind. :pals:

The memories though of her are obviously good ones. She will always be with you. However, I understand in the last year and a half I have lost both of my remaining grand parents.
