Okay this is just a small small dose of what my grandma was like
My grandma
I'm starting this out as my grandma, Because I was her favorite, Eddie , Wade, Kevin, Shelly, Robby, Billy , Lynel , Norman, and all the other grandkids. she had-16-- grand kids and each one was her very favorite. Not Only did she make you feel that way she believed it.
Who didn't walk in her door and walk straight to the refrigerator. If you didn't she did and she would say you need to eat something or here you get something to drink. And as long as you were there I don't think she sat down once , She was always catering to you,
When It got time to leave you would always here, no matter how long you were there, You don't have to rush off. And you never left there without a bag of something to go, Here you may need this she would say. And when you got in your car you had to back out the driveway slow to give her time to go through the house Get on the front porch and wave goodbye she always waved goodbye.
And you know I can honestly say I had the best , Sweetest grandma ever
WE Love You Grandma. And once again you are with grandpa and you're Happy
