My Grandma...



I know this picture is a little blurry...sorry!!
This is my Grandma Fry. I lost her on July 24th, 2011. I miss her so much!
After my Grandpa passed away, I felt like I was the worst Granddaughter. I could have and should have visited him more often. I told Grandma that I was going to be a better Granddaughter. I started calling her more and visiting more. We went trick or treating to her house, and invited her to everything. I still wish I would have done more, but I think what I did was good enough.
When I first started calling her all the time, we would get ready to hang up and I would always say..."Love you, Grandma"...and sometimes she would say "I love you" back, and sometimes she would just say "yep!" But the last time I spoke to her, she said it first...and I knew that she meant it.
I know that she is happy to be with Grandpa again, and so it can be hard for me to be sad, but the thing is...i'm gonna miss her! I'm gonna miss the way she answered the phone by saying..."Well HELLO love!!" and I'm gonna miss her needing a caffeine free diet coke and Idaho spud, i'm gonna miss caramel popcorn and new cross stitches. I'm gonna miss her telling me "Oh my word" when I tell her about the kids. I'm gonna miss the stories she would tell and her sometimes messy hair! haha. I'm gonna miss hearing her tell me about being a cowgirl and how much fun she had growing up. I'm gonna miss her telling me to kiss her Grandkids and while I'm at it, if i'll give Steve a BIG kiss for her! Most of all, I think i'll miss her kisses on my cheek.
This Thanksgiving is going to be strange without her. I am so thankful for the time that I was able to spend learning, laughing and loving her! She was an amazing Grandma!
