These only some of the things my grandma loved, she was a great women that i will never forget. It was the best thing to be able to just walk into her house and find it in the exact same homy way it always was. she would be sitting in front of the tv with her big Dollar Store glasses on trying to read her mail or her puzzles or her bingo. You were able to sit down and just, she would be interested in everything you said, even if she didn't want to admit it.
she had the worst sense of humor but at the same time it was super funny, this one time after she got out of the hospital the first time she was in. she was telling us how she missed having someone cleaning her, and we were like whaat nana? She was like yeah! i had a black guy that cleaned me every second day, he was so nice. I was like nana i dont think you should say that so loud! she was like what? i had my own little ( the N word ) I know it isn't supposed to be funny but it was! when she was born it was okay to say that she didn't really realize that youcuoldnt say it now. But she was so serious that i laughed for sooo long.
Another time we were in Zellers and I wanted new pillows and i was like NANA! MOM! look please, they're really pretty. and then they just kept walking away and ignoring me. i was like nana! you cant ignore me im family! she was like well then i guess you're not family then! It was harsh, but so funny. She jsut had the best sense of humor. she didnt actually smile or laugh ALL that much, but you could tell when she was happy, and when she found something happy.
She loved her grand children so much all my little cousins, even when she was sick she would make them food and take care of them. She lived to make others happy, and imiss her greatly.
The best thought is that she was proud of what I have become and what our family is now. Because of her getting sick, our family became whole again, we will always have each other and her in our hearts.
If she was sitting with me now, i know she would be yelling at me and telling me to stop being a miserable shit, stop being tired and write about something else.
But of course she would be getting mad with love.
Nana,
i miss you with all my heart. I wish I see you again, and sit with you.
Know, Opa and everyone misses you but you have left great memories, and have created a great family.
thank you for being the best,
I love you.
