Three Days ago my sweet Grandmother passed away.

The last time I was ale to be with her and visit was 3 years ago. Even though she was having health problems and couldn't remember who I was she was still as spunky and had as much personality as I could remember her having when I was young.

I have a lot of memories of her for myself but the one thing I will always remember above all other memories was her sitting in her chair and having Riley Bug, who had just turned two, bring a book to her lap (green eggs and ham) and ask her to read to her. I have never, to this day, see Riley sit as still or be more attentive when a book was being read to her. It was the sweetest thing I have ever seen. I am so glad I was able to be there.

She was an amazing woman with amazing strength and amazing stories to tell. I will always be proud to have her name attached to mine and I am glad I was able to take that same name and attach it to Rileys.

I love you Grandma.
