a girl & her Gram
that photo in the photo was taken when i was fourteen months old. what's even more precious is that this is the same frame my Gram had it in on her nightstand for as long as i can remember. and now it's on mine.
i was my Gram's Sweet Bug.
i can still hear her sweet soprano singing the hymn "How Great Thou Art" in my mind.
today is her birthday. the year she was born, there was a blizzard on February 4. the doctor could not make it to their house & her father delivered her. every year, there was some kind of Winter storm on her birthday -- snow, sleet, freezing rain. the first February 4 after she passed away, the sun shone.
i miss her.
18 with their own thoughts:
Happy birthday, Gram. Sqeezy Dawn in her dreams, k? She misses you.
(((big hug)))
Dawn, I think it's great the memories you have of your grandparents.
Judging by their grand daughter, I'd say they were great people.
That is just the sweetest picture and how great to have it in the same frame your Gram had.
just to add to the memories we had snow and freezing rain yesterday! i wondered why i did not mind it when it was happening and i was driving now after reading this i know why!
That is so sweet! Love that you have the frame now :-)
Wow. goosebumps with the image of the sun shining!
Awesome story about your Gram!! I have a cherished pic of my grandma and I too. Grandmas are awesome!!
Thank you for sharing more memories like this. You're such a sweet girl!
I love that you even know what the weather was like on the day she was born!
Oh another sweet photo of you with one of your grandparents! Such special memories and great pictures.
How sweet. What a precious picture of y'all. I miss my Grandma, too. (((HUGS)))
What great pictures you have of you with your grandparents...and how cool that you have it in the very same frame.
Nichole: =) That's very sweet of you.
Thanks Chele.
Ted: Awww... ::kicks at the ground:: They were good people, that much I know.
Jeanne: It brings back such a flood of memories when I see it in that same frame, because I can picture it on her nightstand and visualize her bedroom exactly. My grandparents' home was my favorite place on earth when I was a kid.
Heather: =)
Janet: It's kind of tacky & way dated, but I wouldn't trade it for anything. =)
April: Weird, isn't it?
Krystyn: Aren't those just the things that can cheer you up in an instant when you need it? I see that photo & I have to smile.
Ingrid: I used to beg her to tell that story all the time when I was little. I just couldn't fathom that her father delivered her himself.
Gail: I was lucky enough to get so many old photos from my grandparents. Gram knew how much photos mean to me & she would give me any that she would find.
Carrie: Thanks! =)
kreed: Wait til you see some of the other ones I have to share in the future!
Wow, that's such an amazing story! I was like that with my Nana. I have her photo up in my scrap room (the two of us).
Dawn, I just love the stories/memories you share of your grandparents... I hope my grandchildren have such sweet and loving ones too. It's so cool you have her frame... what a treasure. :)
Aww, this is really sweet Dawn. How she had this picture of the two of you and now you do. Makes me think of my grandmother. I know i'm her favorite. I love her soooo much. I gotta go before I get dust in my eyes....=)
Mamichelle: Having photos like that displayed is really comforting, isn't it?
Marianne: I have *no* douby they already do!
Colleen: Right. Dust. ;-) It's pretty awesome to be the favorite, isn't it? Not that we're gloating or anything. ;-)
the first February 4 after she passed away, the sun shone.
How sweetly amazing is that. :)
You are so fortunate to have had such a close relationship with her.
