It's my Grandmother's birthday, and I've thought about her a lot today. I still miss her so much. She had such a big impact on my life. I miss visiting with her, but I'm thankful for a lot of memories. I'm thankful that I had her as many years as I did and that my daughter got to grow up getting to know her great grandmother.
She was born in 1917. I think about all the things that changed in her lifetime. Recently a site here in town that was her mom's house at one time and then her brother's bait and tackle shop in the 60s was torn down. That made me a little sad too.
I have this photograph on my desk at work and I know she's with me every single day. And you know it's funny, sometimes I look in the mirror and see my mom looking back at me and sometimes it's my grandmother I see looking back.
My puppy had a sad today too. Perhaps he could just sense my sadness and it rubbed off on him. He didn't eat his dinner or his treat. I was beginning to be really worried about him, but when I put him to bed he gobbled up his night night treat and I left his supper just in case and he ate all of that too.
Now I'm about to make myself put on one more load of laundry and set the dishwasher to run in the middle of the night. I'm hopping tomorrow will be busy and I'll find myself being happy again.
