Hello blog readers :) Todays topic is: If you could have dinner with one person, living or dead, who would it be and why?
That person would be my maternal grandmother. She died when I was 2 years old. I actually have memories from when she was still alive. My mom and I would go to her house every morning and I would get to wake her up.
I was at her house the day she died and I remember a lot from that specific day. I know she would be proud of me. I just would love to have the opportunity to talk with her again.
If for some reason she was unavailable to have dinner with, my 2nd choice would be my paternal grandmother. She died only 3 years ago but we weren't very close. Because my parents had me so late in life my grandma was older than most. So she wasn't really able to run and play, and from as early as I remember she couldn't hear very well, even with a hearing aid. At her funeral, the pastor told us a story that aparently my grandma loved to tell. However, I had never heard this story, and I'd bet that my dad hadn't either. It kind of hit me at that point that she wasn't always the woman I knew her to be. I would love to have the chance to really get to know her without the communication issues.

I did in fact watch "Rent" last night and I really didn't like it. I'm not entirely against musicals, but this had too much music and that made the story line very hit and miss. I had really hoped it would be better.
Now that was a very sweet post.
ReplyDeleteI was loved my grandmother, but did not keep in touch with her like I should have. We had a kinda falling out (well she did with me) when I changed my religion.
With my life and my scatter brainedness I failed to call her just to say hi and I have regretted that ever since we lost her 3 years ago this month.
Thank you for sharing such a touching moment.
Now you know the question about the Hacky Sack there was a question that was at the end of it but should have been a separate one. Make sure you don't forget to do that one.
I saw that, and I plan to do that one probably Thursday morning. Someone else submitted a question that I'd like to answer before I forget to :)
