It has been 12 years since my maternal grandmother passed away. I remember how incredibly happy I had been earlier that day; I was away at school and had left my IM "away" status to something like "what an absolutely wonderful day it is". It is strange to think how blindsided we all were; I miss her often.
Even though she had been sick for a very long time, she was still always there. This grandmom was my "crafty" grandmom; the one who taught me how to sew and crochet. The one who made all our Halloween costumes (and who's sewing machine I now use to make my own kids costumes). I miss her on all the holidays and when I see something incredible on Pinterest that I just know she'd know how to make. She was so fun for us kids during the time we had her, and I'm grateful for all the things she taught me.
The photo above is the wreath my mom made for her this year. It's clear to see where we all got it from. Love you Tida!
