My grandmother was one of the most honest, what comes up comes out, speaking individuals that you could ever encounter. I can clearly hear her voice right now telling me Ensa, Terry, and Raymar that "SPOT ain't gonna bother ya!" We were terrified of that white and black dog, LOL!! I remember getting the infamous homemade chocolate candies that we use to get every year for Christmas. I remember her peach puffs and the cobblers. I can even remember her standing in the kitchen one day in the summer showing me how she made peach cobbler.
Today was extremely hard for me, because it started to settle in that you are actually no longer with us. However, I know that you were tired and are now in a much better place finally resting. I'm kind of looking forward to Wednesday so that I can see you 1 last time.
With so much love!
