My fondest memory of my grandmother was when I was a young boy. I would always look forward to seeing her. When mom told me that I was going to visit her. I'd get excited waiting to see her and uncle Jimmy. The morning would start off with a bagel and cream cheese, yet she would never cut the bagel, she would just spread the cream cheese on top of the whole bagel. I remember in the afternoon we would watch the love boat, tj hooker, and miami vice. She would always yell "Tommy! Hooker is coming on!", this would always grab my attention. At times when I visited, my Uncle Jim would come over and we would play with the old Wrestling action figures. I remember at dinner time, she would take me down to Brothers Restaurant, I would get either the Spaghetti or the Cheese Raviolis (everyone knew who we were). I now look back, and remember those days. I miss her, and I wish I could have enjoyed many more memories with her. She know looks down at me and sees a young man, with a wife and daughter. And I look back up at her and tell her that she will never be forgotten and her legacy carries on threw her great granddaughter. Because without my grandmother I would not have her, I would have never had this chance in life. I owe her everything I cherish in my life. Thank you Nana.
