Random thought....
...I was doing laundry and packing for this weekend, and to move home, and washed my baby blankie. Yes, I still sleep with my baby blankie. For two reasons, really. 1.) It's a big blanket, about 4'x3', and comfy as all get out. and 2.) because it was from my grandma.
The random thought I had was that she was at my high school graduation, and was probalby more overtly proud of me than my own parents. Not to say my parents weren't proud, she was just that proud. She was so exicted that I was going on to college, etc. And then I realized that she won't be at my college graduation. The two things she wanted to see me do in this world were go to college and be at my wedding. To know that she won't be at my graduation (or my wedding, but not even pertinent, yet....), it stopped me dead in my tracks.
I cried today. Not unhappy tears, but tears of happiness. Because I know she'll be there that day. Even if she's not physically there. She'll be there....
So yeah....sorry to get all sappy, and what not...but it's my journal, so I'm allowed.
Anyway, back to packing. Will it never end?
