My grandmother. Always thoughtful, generous and kind. My fondest memories as a child always have involved her. She was my everything. It seemed that everything about me made her happy. I've never felt so loved by anyone as much. Never a holiday, birthday or event did she not acknowledge. She was always there for me. I use to take the bus home from school it was a hard walk carrying 50lbs of books everyday and she would drive over an hour just to take me home from school buy me some lunch sneak me over to the arcade which was my favorite thing to do and go home. I always thought to myself how amazing she was to drive all the way just for me. I've feared this day my entire life was the one person losing besides gramps that would hurt so badly. And now i've lost them both and I can't begin to describe the pain. I use to remember when i was little going to Michigan for a month or two during summer was the highlight of my entire year. Spending time with my grandparents was the ultimate in fun, relaxation and stress free environment. They were never overbearing or demanding just amazing people. The best grandparents this world has to offer. Grams was the most generous person i've ever known and the most thoughtful. I will love you always and i will miss you.
