Sweet, Irreplaceable Memories……A tribute to my sweet Grandma Boss…….
The sound of the creak in my Grandma’s rocking chair on a very stormy night, as she holds me in her lap, in the hallway….safe from the tornadoes. I am way too old and too big to be sitting in my Grandma’s lap. But, she doesn’t mind. In fact, she prefers that I sit in her lap as she keeps me safe in her arms. My feet are dragging the hardwood floor…..yes, I am too big for this. Or am I? I love you Grandma. I know our years are now becoming numbered together. I want you to know that you are my heart. You are everything I have always strived to be like, with your 11th grade education. Never even graduating from high school, just 2 weeks shy to go work in the mill to help your mother support your sisters….never even graduating high school, yet you are the wisest person I know. Quite possibly, the wisest person on Earth. You have taught me probably everything I need to in life. Wake up each morning and decide for that day only, if you are going to be happy. Love with everything in you. Never be quick to judge. Always smile at others as you pass them on the street. It’s contagious….like yawning. LOL….I just yawned. Never go to bed mad….it makes harder to decide to be happy the next day. J But, more than anything……love the Lord with all you heart, all your soul and all your mind. The rest is gravy.
I love you Grandma Boss.
Love always,
Maria
