Even though it was a sad day for you, you made the best of it and cooked the dinner. I'm sure she was looking down on you cheering you on. You will have these sweet memories for the rest of your life. One thing I know "Families can be together forever". You will see and be with your sweet grandmother again.DeEttahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18426099684156458280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8429266377364863842.post-89796944165419116592009-11-24T09:07:38.581-06:002009-11-24T09:07:38.581-06:00These kinds of events do shape us and tend to stay...These kinds of events do shape us and tend to stay with us forever.
