Not many of us have our mothers or grandmothers for 90 years, and I feel blessed by her love and generosity. She rarely bought me a gift or gave me a present as most grandchildren expect their grandparents to do, but I didn't need tangible gifts of material things from her. When we went to visit at her house, there was never a TV or radio on, never a toy or game, never a book or magazine to read. We had talk and stories and memories that occupied us for hours and I was never bored. If I could choose two weeks out of my childhood to relive, it would be the two weeks I stayed with them the summer I was about 10. All we did was sit on the porch and shell peas and beans, sing songs as we swang in the big swing Papa built, drink gallons of sweet tea, and wait for the vegetable man or mailman to come by. We basked in pure joy.
She will always be missed and loved.

She was a wonderful lady. I have loved her all of my life. I hope she and Pa and Uncle Garnet and all of our other loved ones are having a party right now.
