Grandma,
I really don’t know where to begin. Here we go. The last nine years We have enjoyed a wonderful adventure Together. We have gone from the Cardinals and cubs playing each other “ if the Cubs won I would always get a one ring prank phone call from you to let me know the Cubs won”. I am so going to miss that even know I wish I was the one doing all the calling because “the Cardinals won”.
Sue and I went to taking you and Mr Buddy Love “Grandmas precious little dog”, in to our home, and you had to go away from eating your daily meals to eating all our cooking. You never hesitated to crinkle up that nose if you didn’t like what we were having that night, but you usually ate every bite.
Then after moving you to Greenville “Cedarhurst “, you didn’t having a problem letting us know how unhappy you were the first few days there. After being there for a couple weeks, you fell in love with your new home. They were such great people and a very nice facility. We would ask if you got some new friends and you would say “Oh yea me and her right over there go way back”, LOL but yet we didn’t know her name. You latched on to a few of the staff members and they always put a smile on your face.
Sue and I would bring Buddy Love up there to see you and it always lit up your smile, no matter what kind of day you were having that day. Sometimes we would drop him off and we would go grab us something to eat. When we came back to get him you would most likely be a sleep with him lying next to you or he would be hiding under the bed. Buddy Love enjoyed going out to the dining area to visit your friends. He loved cleaning up the scraps.
Not long after you moved into there you had a fall and broke your wrist. You were a trooper walking around with that cast that weighed more than you did, LOL. Member sitting in the hospital with you and we cried together because you were hurting so bad, then when someone came in to examine you and they walked out you would flip them the bird. Turned cries into laughs. No matter what the situation was we had so much fun together.
Grandma you have taught me so much in my life, respect, responsibility, “how to squat in a cornfield fishing in kinkaid as little kids” sorry had to throw that in there, LOL, to just being you.
The last nine years were some of the best years of my life spending them with you. I wouldn’t have had it any other way. We helped each other through good times and a few bad times but always came out of it with a smile and a I love you! Sue and I are going to miss you so much, but knowing we have another guardian looking down on us and going to help guide us through the rest of our days brings a huge comfort and smile to our faces.
I want to say I have the best Grandma a young man could have had, I also want to say I have the best Wife a man could ever have. With out my wife I could have never made it through this journey. My wife did so much with helping out with grandma, to making sure she had her medications to physically picking her up and putting her in the tub to give her a bath. Honey just want you to know Thank You and I love you very much. We make one hell of a team together.
Ok grandma I am going to end with this “Do You Think It’s Going To Work?”
Grandma would always ask us this. You would always have to say “what grandma”.
She would then say “a windshield wiper on a goats ass”. LOL
I love you grandma and you are going to be deeply missed.
