Grandma

Some of you know that my grandmother Alma had a sudden stroke and died a few days later last week. Happy Mother's Day. She was at a graduation party. It was and still is a shock to us all, as she was in great health (at least it seemed).

What we all loved about grandma is she was a glue that kept our family going. She arranged and held many of the family gatherings, even when her first husband was very sick for years and when she was alone for years after his death. She was fun-loving and always had a good comeback to any joke or situation.

No favorite memory, but just have that sense that she was such a great part of my life.

One other side-note. She knows what to give me for my birthday: cash!

Wish you all have a great relationship with you parents and grandparents while there is time.
