It marks the one year anniversary of grandma's death and the unforgettable termination day at my last job. <BR/><BR/>The older I become, the more time seems to pass by very quickly. And even though I had 35 years with my grandmother, I feel like they were a dream. I often grasp at memories of her. When I was young, my dad used to take me to her house to visit, and we would have tea and toast with Breakstone butter. When I was dating my husband, we took a few trips to her apartment, one of which required a three-hour journey on NJ Transit and NYC subways.<BR/><BR/>The whole experience reminds me of how important it is to spend time with the people you love. Besides God and having a personal relationship with Him, making memories together is what life is really all about.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09286827677316601720noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4269317155451660862.post-62645266538583011062007-09-19T18:34:00.000-04:002007-09-19T18:34:00.000-04:00It sounds like she was such a special person and y...It sounds like she was such a special person and you were so blessed to have her in your life! <BR/><BR/>On another note, I'm tagging you Bessy!!

As a matter of fact, one of my co workers told me she was thinking of me last night, and knew today was indicative of something important. We spoke of Grandma at work today, as we remembered when I received the phone call that day one year ago (from Beth too!). <BR/>I can hear her voice the last time I spoke to her on the phone, and it feels like yesterday. The "Oh Deb....Hi!" and the "Bye Now"...in her own special way. <BR/>If everyone could have a grandmother like her...we are so blessed to have had so many years to share life with her. <BR/>Cherished memories...<BR/>Love to all. <BR/>DebiAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4269317155451660862.post-50207103200172634982007-09-18T13:49:00.000-04:002007-09-18T13:49:00.000-04:00Since Logan died, I've become so much more aware o...Since Logan died, I've become so much more aware of dates, etc. Not just my own, but other people's losses as well.

But the month and year always remain inbedded in my brain. I don't always remember the day, but I remember where I was when I heard. Sept 18, 06-Grandma - driving to campus- Beth told me. May 15,05-Titi Nilda - in my apartment, at my desk- Beth told me. Aug 03 - Aunt Helen, Wendy's on 72 in Manahawkin - Beth told me. Dec 03- Aunt Kay, at the Brown residence in MD - Beth told me. I'm not saying there is a pattern. ;-)<BR/><BR/>Did you ever read what I wrote about grandma on myspace? Maybe I didn't send that to family for some reason. I'll send you the link later.MarkeyCohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11427646093255831450noreply@blogger.com
