I am so lucky to have some of the best grandparents EVER! And I am especially lucky to be close to all of them. This past Thanksgiving, my Grandma Nielsen passed away. She had been without her sweet husband for almost 16 years and am happy they are together again. I love her so much. I have many memories of my grandma...quilting for personal progress, new recipes, rhubarb in the garden, Pero in the kitchen, music boxes everywhere, childhood stories, squishy hugs and lots of beatin's. This was what my grandma did every time I saw her...of course a beatin' was a kiss on the forehead and I was always happy to receive it. She always had cookies for the little ones and good advice or (in my case) books for the older ones. She was a wonderful example of love and I can see that reflected in my mother. I hope there is a little of that in me. I hope she knows how much I loved her. It's too bad that we sometimes realize the significance of someones life even more so when they are gone. Miss you Grandma...
