Early this morning I was driving in the car and I heard a voice the reminded me of my grandmother. It was in a song, and the voice was saying, “Grandma will love you all your life.” At which point I instantly dissolved into a puddle of tears. Gram has been gone for nearly 3 years and it’s always amazing to me that simple things like a smell, a saying, a voice bring her back so vividly in my mind that my heart aches again missing her.
My grandmother was an amazing woman. And like the song I heard this morning, she did love me all my life. I don’t ever remember a time that I couldn’t go to her. Sure she’d slap me straight when I needed it, but I always knew she loved me. She’d also just “pop by” when I was drowning in babies. She had a knack of getting them to sleep…then she’d fold laundry. I told you, she was a saint. I miss her terribly, she was one of my best friends. But I know she has left a lasting legacy in our family. A legacy of family, a legacy of helping…a legacy of love. I can only hope to leave such a legacy for my family.
Love you Gram!
just plain beautiful. Like the whole Sager family.
