A wonderful tribute!
ReplyDeleteHow lovely, Rall. I adored my grandma, too, and the list of things your grandma loved is full of wonders, and your gratitude is so sweet. I'm happy you found us at What's Going On? I was going to message you.
ReplyDeleteThis was a graceful remembrance.
ReplyDeleteLovely tribute...
ReplyDeleteWords emanate so much warmth and comfort! Lovely.
ReplyDeleteYou did it! Tears in my eyes and a lump in my throat. Grandmothers, if we are fortunate enough to have known and loved them .. as yours certainly was, make life joyous, leave us with indelible memories.
ReplyDeleteA lovely detailed tribute to your grandmother. I too remember details like the hair ornaments and clothing styles from my own grandmother..
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely birthday tribute to your grandmother, Rall. I love the things that remind you of her, and the lines:
ReplyDelete‘the sunshine of your smile
the star bursts of your laughter’.
A most beautiful tribute, Rall!
ReplyDeleteThis is so beautiful, and of course there were some tears on my part.
