My Grandma

My Grandma Sharlene passed away Thursday, December 15, 2011. I love her and I already miss the love that only a Grandma can give. I always knew she loved, cared, cherished, and supported me. It didn't matter my hair color, my weight, my choices, or my education. She loved me. I will always remember Christmas time at my Grandma's house in Elko. We'd go for 4 or 5 days around Christmas and we'd simply eat food, go shopping, and watch TV for hours(we didn't have TV at home at the time;). The night before Christmas we'd open one present and Grandma would be busy getting ready for turkey dinner the next day. She'd lay out all this bread around the house on towels and blankets to dry out for the stuffing, which as a child I could never figure out why. Other fond powerful memories are birthday cards, strong perfume, red lipstick, and lots of gold rings. I love you Grandma and I already miss you tons and today there is a hole in my heart but I know that you are now free from pain and among the angels.
