A week ago today, my sweet Grams passed away. It was a tad unexpected and I miss her dearly. I am certain of her salvation in Jesus which is such a sweet gift and I look forward to seeing her again in heaven. My mom gave me this card I wrote to Grams when I was a child. Grams called me her "baby angel" and always gifted me the cutest angel items. She was the original Lilly lover in our family and could always spot a Lilly shift a mile away. I looked up to my Grams: she was stylesetter and tastemaker for me. She wore Revlon's red flip better than anyone. She always let me eat cake for breakfast and thought dessert should be served first. She loved to travel and saw the whole world. She was upbeat, positive, and could win any card game, especially bridge. She successfully raised three children and balanced an impressive career. I am beyond thankful to have such an inspiration grandmother, to have had her in my life for as long as I can remember, and I am so grateful she vibrantly colored my life. She always ended each conversation with "bye-bye for now" which is always so appropriate because it is just bye-bye for now until we meet again. Xoxo-BLC
I am sorry for your loss...it sounds like she was a fabulous woman! xx
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry for your loss. My grandmother and I were so close too, and she passed away last February. I still miss her, and I find myself talking to her sometimes. It helps me in a way, because I know she can hear. Your card is so sweet, and a glimpse into that closeness that started when you were so young and continued on. Like you, I am grateful I had my gram as long as I did. I hope you can find comfort in the great memories and also, like you said, in our faith and her strong faith. xo
ReplyDeleteYou sweet girl with that sweet letter. I'm so sorry to hear of your loss, BLC. You have such a great outlook on her life and where she is now. Hugs!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely tribute. So sorry for your loss.
ReplyDeleteThis is so cute! I am so very sorry for your loss, my most sincere condolences.
ReplyDeleteCan we giggle for a second? My favorite angle is the acute angle, but maybe yours is obtuse or right? I love reading old notes and seeing my cute young-person spelling mistakes. They make me proud of where I have come! I bet your Mom was thinking the same thing. Letting you have something your grandmother kept, loved, and held onto. A piece of her with you.
Many hugs.
So sorry for your loss. I am certain you will see your dear Grams again! She sounds like "good people."
ReplyDeleteLove and Hugs,
Mrs. Kindergarten...aka...Madame Spoiled
My condolences.
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry for your loss, dear. It's never easy, but at least you have such wonderful memories of her. Revlon lipstick and all!
ReplyDeleteSo sorry for your loss. Your grandmother was a lovely woman, I'm sure. Your note above is adorable and I'm happy your heart is full of such fond memories. I'm a fan of bye, bye for now! Take care.
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry for your loss. I just lost my grandmother as well. You are right in saying that it is "Bye-Bye for now." She is in a better place and you will see her again soon. You will be kept in my thoughts and prayers.
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry for your loss. I love that thought process--bye bye for now. Thank you for sharing
