Grandma,
I'm missing you so much today. I'm missing your wonderful hugs, and your welcoming arms. I'm missing your kindness and love. I'm missing the stories you'd tell me. And sitting with you on the porch of your old house, enjoying french toast sticks which you bought specially for me, because you knew they were my favorite. I'm missing lounging at the cabin with you, and buying taffy and fudge. I'm remembering your kindness and love. I'm remembering your completely nonjudgmental lens through which you saw life, and the acceptance you showed me. I'm remembering your intellect and how incredibly gifted you were. Like the time you secretly took grandpa's test for him, and "his" scores were off the charts. I'm remembering how you always made everyone feel so welcomed; it's no wonder my friends all adore you. I'm remembering your soul, and how I truly feel honored to have lived in your presence. You have the kindest soul grandma. You're a special one. Here's to your beautiful life, and all the lives that are more beautiful because of you. I love you so so much, Grandma.

What a beautiful tribute to a beautiful woman. I know how much you love your grandma and I grew to love her also. She loved and still loves you very much. You are a wonderful person and have such a kind and sweet heart.

I just read this for like the fourth time (and since you already know I'm stalking your blog today,) felt like I should leave a comment. This is beautiful. I loved hearing your Dad read your tribute to your amazing Grandmother at the celebration of her life. You were so special to her, Liz. Love you lots.

I accidentally I subscribed myself from comments. But I don't want to be unsubscribed. I miss her so much. I miss the fact that I can't call and stop by for lunch. Love you Grandma.
