Grandparents are something special. I love my grandparents a ton and though only one is still living, the others are on my mind. My Grandma Liz was my dad’s mom and she was a battleaxe of a woman. She was a strict woman who you didn’t mess with. When told to do something, we never did argued. She was a strong woman and had a special way of making you feal loved.
Gramma and Grampa are the grandparents I was closest too. They are the ones we saw more often when I was a kid, since we lived with them for a little bit. When we moved to Oregon, we lived in their house for a while during which time they traveled around the country in a motor home. Grampa passed 5 years after dad did, almost to the day. But before that, he was one of those people who would face off those wanting to do you harm with no qualms.
He was great.
Gramma is amazing. She is still alive and kicking. I admire her strength after she lost the love of her life after more than 50 years of marriage. She never lacks love for her grand kids and always makes sure they know it.
