I’m heartbroken. I received the saddest news last night. My grandma, who raised me like I was her own daughter, had passed away. She was 106. I am very sad that I couldn’t see her one last time. I had made plans to visit her in a few weeks. Unfortunately, it’s not soon enough.
Even though my grandma was illiterate, she was a very accomplished successful entrepreneur. She was always positive and optimistic. She taught me a lot. Not only did she teach me how to walk and talk, she also taught me how to drink coffee at 4 (that explains why I refused to nap as a kid), and gamble at 5 (got that out of my system at a very young age!). The greatest lesson she had ever taught me was how to become an independent woman. For that I will always thank her. She was my hero, my ultimate Mama. I love you Grandma and I will miss you.
[hand on heart] my deepest sympathy. It sounds like you’re quite blessed — having a woman…mentor…and strong-hold in your life for that long. You’re her legacy, and it shows.
Thank you for your kind words.
so sorry to hear about loss of your grandmother. My sympathies to you and your family.
Thank you.
So sorry for your loss. Grandparents always hold such a special place in our hearts. Found you through Bloggy Moms.
