Dear Grandma Get,
You have lived such a wonderful, adventurous, and long life, I don't know where to begin except for the things that I know about or have experienced with you. Since I have been around, I have seen and joined with you in so many adventures, whether it be looking at slides from when you were across the country with Frank and others or memories with me. I remember way back when I was teeny tiny, loving to be around you and your motorhome, which in the very beginning I would pronounce "hotermoam" or "homemoter." I loved going on travels with you or even just spending the night in the motorhome. I loved our Tennessee trips and the time we spent up there together doing so many things. I can remember all of our late night, slap happy laughs we would get ourselves into where neither one of us could stop laughing so hard we were crying. We did that a lot, and we still did up till the end. Like the time you were dipping ice cream and it flew up and stuck on the ceiling! We were rolling on that one, but that's just an example of many that I can remember. I will always cherish those memories.
I used to love doing crafts, playing cards, building puzzles, tap dancing, going swimming, or just spending time with you. You were always the "cool grandmother" who would stay up late at night and wake up late in the morning. There are so many memories I can not name them all or I would write a book. We also had so many things in common, like our extreme love and passion for animals. I can remember all of the cats and dogs you've had over the years and their names. Even all the cats that you would just feed outside on your porch. As I have grown up, there are so many things I have found that I get from you. They may not be all great, but at least I know where I get them from. Lol. We've been through a lot of ups and downs over the years, but it was nice knowing we were going through them them together.
I have called you almost every day for the past 19 years starting in 2004, even though it certainly doesn't feel that long ago. It went from a bunch of midnight chats all the way up to the latest 5 minute chats at 4:00 every day, keeping up with what is new with each other and our lives. I will miss talking to you every day, and there will always be a void in my heart.
I guess I should wrap it up now since I have already written a story but I don't need to write anymore because I know in my heart that you are watching over me and remember everything that I do plus more. I just wanted to share some of our good times with everyone else who loves and cares about you. I know we will see each other again someday, but I hope you know that you will be with me every moment of every day. I will always love and miss you Grandma Get and don't forget that! ❤️
