Memory 4


Grandmas. 

They're like your mom, but with whiter hair and more cookies right?

I had a different relationship with my grandma. 

But she died yesterday and I'm trying to come to grips with the reality that I don't get more time to repair some of the ties that were severed in our later years. 

But I do get to make peace by remembering. 

So...

...getting up at 9 am to go get biscuits and gravy at McDs cause they were the only ones that competed with my moms

...playing Monopoly but stopping halfway through cause I got bored.

...beating her at 1500 rummy and her not talking to me for 15 minutes.

...wearing her old silk nightgown and pretending I was Cinderella. 

...watching Wheel of Fortune and eating TV dinners

...playing bank. 

...getting Wendy's Frosties

...taking the recycling up to the lot every Saturday. 

And just so it goes on record. I loved my grandma.

I'll admit it. I'm a closet Avril lover.
