He passed away 22 years ago..and we still both get tears in our eyes...her love story is the greatest ever told... much like Cinderella, with a mean father, my handsome grandfather scooped her up, and loved her with all his being....and he loved his grandchildren... he died a year after we moved to Canada, my parents were working on documents to get him to come here. I was convinced he died of a broken heart. In the end, my grandma came over, and I am grateful to have here to spend Sunday afternoons together....even if I gain weight after being there! lolAlekshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03369171527554975512noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-357805624531676127.post-10574060167510665222008-04-25T21:42:00.001-05:002008-04-25T21:42:00.001-05:00Gosh, so many good memories.

However, she always took time to play with us or teach us how to do what she was doing, with great patience, so I have lots of sweet memories of her. My favorite though is the contrast to that "do everything correctly" grandmother. After my fourth child was born, she came to stay for 3 weeks and help me. About 12 inches of fringe was coming off our bedspread, and I was sure she would be pleased to sew it back on for me while she was visiting, as she could never just sit. Next thing I know, she is ripping that fringe off by the yard! I was so shocked, I burst out laughing! Why didn't I think of that? I never even liked it!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-357805624531676127.post-88790394355638414502008-04-25T09:55:00.000-05:002008-04-25T09:55:00.000-05:00What lovely memories everyone has about thier gran...What lovely memories everyone has about thier grandparents and mothers...I only had a maternal grandmother in my life for a very short time and don't remember much but just the way she looked and her very loving face. My paternal passed before I was born. I have been doing genealogy for a few years and have learn so much about my families and have had stories told about all of them {which is wonderful}. My memory is about my Mother, when my husband and I bought own first home she had lots of extra stuff and lot of stuff that I left when I moved out. She got together some of her extra stuff for our home and found my year books and wrote in one by my pictures of about how time has passed and that she just washed some dished that she is sending me {I still have a cast iron skillet she send}.That now I was moving into my first home and lots of happiness for many for years to come. The best part is she wrote meanie by my baby sister's name {I always say to sis that Mother liked me better}! It still makes my cry each time I read it as she has passed and left many happy memories.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
