It’s been an emotional few days since “Grammy” passed away. Her death was unexpected and devastating to me. I feel so guilty about moving away…about not calling nearly enough. Yet, I do feel some comfort in knowing that she understood and wished me well. It’s one of the last real conversations we had. Every phone call ended with her saying she wished I were back home…but that she loved me….and just wanted me to be happy. She was such a nice person. I never heard her raise her voice. I always felt loved unconditionally. She asked a lot of questions and then would apologize for being nosy….but I never thought of her as that. I knew she cared and was interested in whatever was going on in my life. She will be missed. And loved, always.
So, I’m home for a couple of weeks. It feels good {I do miss Thom though:(}. I have a list of things to do while I’m here. Like hanging out at Barnes & Noble. Eating at Panera. Seeing some movies. Visiting a lot of people. Enjoying time off of work. Sleeping in. Eating a lot {there aren’t any calories when you’re on vacay, are there?}.
So, I’m off to watch American Idol….looking forward to this season…although I was SO rooting for that kid who lived in his car, but he didn’t even make it into the top 24.
Hope you all are well….and remember to call, hug, enjoy the ones you love.

So sorry for your loss. My grama passed last year, and she was the same always positive and never complained about anything (I think our oldtimers were made of heartier material).
American Idol- I am a total addict and after the boys sang last night my fave is Jason (dreadlock guy) I’ve been singing “What a day for a daydream all day”………
Thanks for your condolences, Liz 🙂
I loved Jason’s rendition of that song…you’re right…it remained in my head for a couple of days. I think my fave guy is that 16 year old…David?
