This beautiful soul went home over the rainbow bridge today. My gram’s. My heart. She loved me beyond anyone else on this planet and I loved her. She was my number 1. We were kindred spirits. She was one of the most amazing human beings. So many memories with her. We once drove across the country together in a bench seat Toyota pickup truck with one dog and a cat. She used to back out of the driveway in the 1970 VW Bug to go teach physics at the high school while I was rolling home early mornings after working the night shift at the Waffle House we would wave at each other, I was 19 years old. In the summer she would drink 1/2 a beer and get all giggly and ask me to take her to the nursery for garden supplies b/c she had had too much to drink. She was a constant in my life. She offered me unconditional love and stability in so many ways as I grew up. The last years she lost her sense of hearing she aged gracefully but was a generally happy person. Content. She raised 6 kids and me, her first grand daughter. She was more than a grandmother to me. She was the closest person to me. She knew my heart beyond anyone that ever tried to see. The last 10 years midwifery and becoming a mother kept me from being able to travel to Alabama to go home. Gosh do I regret this now. My heart grieves. Life is too terribly short. Her death was simple and fast. This beautiful soul. I wish I was a fraction of what she was.
