*Warning* Sappiness, sadness, may make you cry.

*This was written this morning by my mom. It's been one year since my grandma left to be with Jesus. I think this describes her perfectly.)

One year ago today, at the age of 65, my mom danced into heaven. Goodness, I may need to carry a box of tissues with me everywhere today.

Memories of Mom are heavy

*hugs* Thank you, sweetly_beth! By the way, do you have a nickname I could call you? I was just tempted to call you sweetly. She was amazing and such an inspiration to me personally. Thank you, she was a fantastic person and one of the greatest things about her was that she never made people uncomfortable. She was the sweetest grandma in the world. She was also just slightly taller than me so she was the stereotypical little grandma with a huge heart.

Thank you! I don't think she met someone that she didn't impact. She was just that way. The easiest person to talk to and to be honest with you, she was also the type that you'd pour out all your troubles and she'd understand perfectly what they're going through.

Her sister told me a story of when they were about sixteen-eighteen and were riding on a bus. They sat by a lady that was crying. My grandma told her, "It's okay, be happy!" Which was practically her life-saying. Even when she had cancer she never complained about how much it hurt just merely apologized that she couldn't do as many things with us. She was very selfless.

I wish everyone could have met her. She could have turned the coldest heart warm. Thank you so much, it means a lot to me that you had written. We were all so emotional that day. Thank you so much, it really meant a lot to me and my mom. <3 *hugs*
