Keeping the Memories

My family and I sit around every once in awhile and talk about some fun memories we had with my Grandmother (passed away 3 years ago). It's a way we can remember her and keep her with us, through our memories. I feel over time though she's beginning to fade from me. I used to remember her smell and her face with every detail...now she's beginning to look like a foggy haze in my imagination. I think were due for a walk down memory lane again, to refresh her in my mind.

Like I remember when I was living with her in Indiana my junior high class was having a choir concert for parents and students in the gym. I of course wanted Grandma to come since at this time she was my parent. We had the show, when it was over and everybody was applauding I could hear my Grandma screaming over everybody else's voices. Haha...she was the loudest one. At the time I was embarrassed but when I look back I just realize she was so proud of me..feels good.

What's your most cherished memories with those who are no longer with us?

Their SMILE and UNCONDITIONAL LOVE........ Both my daughter and my niece loved you no matter what and they always had such big warm smiles ready to give you at a moment notice, and they never asked for any thing in return - just to be LoVe.

................... I do so miss them, they are buried next to each other.

Memories is what keeps them with us most definitely, really it's those moments that makes us mourn for them in the first place. When my mother says things like she's "dead", I always disagree because the memories are still alive..therefore in a way she's alive too.
