My Grandma, my best friend 1919-2013

To my 93 year old grandma, who slept away today.


Thank you for teaching me how to knit, sew and crochet.
Thank you for teaching me how to play card games and shuffle the cards.
Thank you for teaching me how to cook and bake.
Thank you for teaching me how to take care of a garden.
Thank you for teaching me where milk and eggs come from.
Thank you for allowing me to eat raw potatoes and turnips.
Thank you for allowing me to explore freely on your farm & lands.
Thank you for going on adventures with me.
Thank you for making me strong, outhouse and newspaper -strong.
Thank you for teaching me how to be a lady, but a tough one.
Thank you for having a vegetable and fruit garden, without it I wouldn't know what real strawberries and peas taste like.
Thank you for being patient with me.
Thank you for being my best friend.
Thank you for trusting me.
Thank you for loving me.
Thank you for being kind to me.
Thank you for respecting me.
Thank you for letting me be a child, yet making me feel like a grown up that I wanted to be.
Thank you for the non-material gifts you gave me, your wisdom & most importantly -

Thank you for the Time that you gave me. You live in me, through me, even though your physical body gave up today. I will continue teaching Little One everything you ever taught me. I've been truly blessed to have had a grandmother like you. I hope to be like you one day. Thank you for being my second mother, Mummo ♥


Forever in my heart, Sari
