I have so many great memories of time spent w/my Grandma. Grandma's house was where we had all our family Christmases. & all the other major family gatherings too for that matter. Her kitchen always smelled wonderful & you can imagine her food was amazing! She had the best desserts too. She fixed amazing cherry milkshakes & always had containers full of cookies & other treats. But probably my favorite was just a simple bowl of vanilla ice cream w/chocolate syrup. Yum! It may sound like a simple thing, but I have such fond memories of just sitting in Grandma's living room watching TV w/family. She always had paper & pencils to draw w/& always encouraged me to practice my drawing. I never got that good at it, but it certainly helped to cultivate the creativity from which all of these Boogieland stories are born. She also had a big book full of Peanuts comic strips which I read over & over. It's really hard to think of anything better in the world that sitting on Grandma's front porch on a warm summer night, looking up at the stars & enjoying the company of loved ones. So many great memories of Grandma's house. The woodstove in winter, the toys for the kids to play w/, spending the night, taking walks, talking, looking at pictures in photo albums, her smile, her kindness & her love. I could go on all day. My Grandma is a very special person, full of love & kindness & warmth & generosity. So of course it's hard to see her in a hospital bed, not feeling very well at all. But she is a very tough person, so if anyone can come back from this, she can. All I can do is hope & pray & I've certainly been doing a lot of both in the last couple of days. Thank you for everything you've done for me and our family Grandma! Thank you for who you are. I love you so much, Grandma!
