My Grandma....was a woman of serenity. She was the sweetest, most kind-hearted person I knew. When my grandpa died at the age of 32, he left her to raise three children on his own. My mom was the youngest of the three kids and he died 2 weeks before she was born, she never had a father figure in her life at all. My grandmother owned her own Beauty Salon and she worked all day and a lot of times into the late evening so she could provide for her children. She was the best grandmother anyone could as for. She died 2 years ago when I was in the 10th grade. She had developed Alzheimer's Disease 3 years prior to her death. She was my favorite Grandma. My mom has always said from the day I was born we were inseperable. We would visit her every Sunday in Hickory and she would cook for the whole family. Every Wednesday she would drive down to Denver to spend a couple days with us. She cooked and cleaned for us and I would always sleep with her. When she passed away I felt like a huge portion of my life was taken away from me. I felt as if I didnt have my guardian angel with me by my side guiding me through my life. I wish she was still her today, because there was never a moment that I didnt enjoy her presence. She was truly my best friend and I will always love and miss her.

Life is so fragile. It is so sad how too often we learn to appreciate those who are around us after they are gone (at least that applies for me). That is great though that you got to know your grandmother, at least for part of your life.
