As children we never fully understand the how lucky we are to have loved ones around us. My Grandmother Lottie passed away on March 28, 1989. She born 116 years ago today on May 27, 1893. My grandmother was my confidant and made me who I am today. Because of her the world is a much better place. She raised 10 children in her day and worked until she was about 75 years old. She loved unconditional, made everyone feel special and always gave with her heart. She always saw the bright side of things and people. She loved purple. She loved to cook with whatever she had in her home. She loved to take rides on Sunday afternoons. She loved gardens and flowers, especially pansies and lilacs. She loved french fries and Kit Kats, homemade cookies and toast with tea. But most of all she loved her family…. We all loved her back. Today is a special day in my heart. For you may be gone Gram, but you are with me everyday! Hugs to you today!
