My Precious Grandmother

 

This next post I devote solely to my grandma; My one living grandparent, the only one I’ve ever known.

I’ve lived in Florida ever since I can remember, and her in Indiana…so when my family got the chance to visit there, she was a priority. The last time I saw her was the week of my cousin’s wedding, so it had been almost 3 years.

These last few [years] her health issues have started to get worse, which is so sad to me, and I’m extremely thankful to have her and to have been able to spend a little time with her earlier this month when we passed through.  I told her I was now a photographer and brought my camera with me, and to my surprise she was thrilled that I was taking her picture(s)!

So that we did. We talked and she gardened, and I took pictures of her.

This is my grandmother. raw and unscripted.

         

I realized while talking with her and through the small amount of time we spent together that I take after her in some ways  and I’m honored. Sometimes I wish that I had grown up around her, and that we were close…but then again I think of how much I appreciate her now and I don’t think it would be the same if I had.

I love you, Grandma.   

Tuesdays are for…

on organizing my thoughts for all of the above.

 

 

and I’m sending out some of my Christmas cards today! That being said, if you would like one, this is your chance! Just email me your address, jennifer12287@yahoo.com . I looked and looked through etsy and I could not find a Christmas card that I was in love with, so I just made them myself is PS this year…and it was cheaper in the long run anyways. but I love them, and I’ll share once they’ve all been sent out, as to not ruin the surprise. :]

 

I was going through the 400- some odd pictures on my phone and I realized that a majority of them are of my cat. obsessed? maybe just a little.
