A girl and her Grams


My mom left yesterday. I thought that saying " good-bye" would get easier over time but it's been 6 years and a still miss her like crazy, especially after a visit. I have learned to be happy and thankful when she can come visit and to cherish the memories we have when we get to spend time together.

Mack has consistently said for the last year or so that her best friend is Grams While my mom was here, Mack was glued to her side. The two of them chattered away constantly and Mack hasn't stopped talking about going to see Grams ( we have a trip planned in June) since before she left.

Here's a peek at our visit:

In honor of my 30th and mom's 50th birthday, Mike treated us with a box of Godiva chocolate:
Each morning Mack would rush out to be sure Grams was still there.

Then they'd have breakfast together. The discussions got quiet animated:
Mack and Grams' watching Sesame Street:
Check out these cute pants mom made for Mack. She made a dress, too!
As always, we had so much fun laughing together:
And we got a little something to commemorate our big birthdays:
Mom brought this push light to Mack but the batteries had died. Just as soon as I replaced them, Mack ran off. This is how I found her- naked and using the bathroom by " candle light".
