Well my grandfather passed away last Friday at 96! We were not very close at all, the thing that made me so sad about the entire death is that I lost my Mema first!
My cousin had her facebook status so right on the other day. It said something like, "Grandad gets to go and see Mema today, what a lucky man!" I feel the same way, I am jealous that he gets to go and see her and talk to her and just be with her. My Mema was a very special woman. I was not able to go to her funeral because Lily was way too young to fly, so sitting in the cemetary right next to where she was laid to rest I cried my eyes out. I miss that special woman so much! She loved her grandkids and would do anything for anyone!
It is just sad to see the end of an era!
I miss Memaw too - the lemon meringue pies, the cheese log, the FOOD!! I miss spending time with her in the kitchen and her heart warming smile. Sorry I couldn't be there to give you a hug and share the memories.
