I called my Granny tonight. It was good to hear her voice. I've been missing her, especially this time of year when she bakes deliciousness and frets over her dressing (stuffing) recipe. I love her. I love her voice, especially her laugh, and even her tears have come to be precious to me. There will come a day when I won't be able to pick up the phone and hear her on the other end and then I'll miss her and I'll regret not letting her know how much she means to me. No. I'm going to call her often and send her gifts and letters. When I'm in Florida I am going to see her and eat her food and wash her dishes and listen to her stories. I have the privilege to see her and hear her and hug and kiss her and I don't want to throw it away for trivial things. She means more to me than I can ever express and I want her to know it.
Aubrey,
ReplyDeleteI am in that same boat!! I love my granny! I have been struggling with making a special trip to Missouri before christmas because she wants to see my new baby Josiah so much. It was difficult for me to decide to go due to the money.After reading your blog, I prayed and felt a peace that this was important and declared a Granny Hazel Trip. This trip will be for her alone, we can do anything she wants and I will be so happy to honor her and love on her. THANKS for the blog although I am MILES and oceans away. Blessings christi Bachew
