(My Gramma A. seeing Bagel for the first time. She was 7 days old. Gramma A was 89)I was going through Bagels blog (yes her and Spike have there own) and I came across the blog on there, I didn't think I had posted to it but I did. It was mostly rambling and just what was going on at the time. It was November 20 2006 when I did the blog entry. I talked about what Bagel had done the few days prior, I must have had all intention of keeping up with the blog there. (3 months before I met Blogger)
I then realized that in my rambling I had mentioned that on Sunday the 19th of November, I had visited my Gramma A, over at my cousins house. (she had moved there the year prior) she was just 90.
It was amazing when I would bring Bagel to see her. Even though she lived with my cousin and her daughter just had twins. Gramma A always just lite up, and would gush and make the biggest deal out of Bagel. I did appreciate it, and I am lucky she was able to meet my daughter. I am sad that she never got to meet Spike.
That day, November 19th, was the last time I would ever see my Gramma A. she passed away the next week. Bagel will never personally know her Great Gramma A. but I show her pictures and talk about her. Just like I talk about my Gramma W. and Spaghetti's Gramma Mc.
Gramma A. got to spend 6 months with Bagel, and I am lucky for that. I miss you Gramma. I still go to ask if your coming over to make ravioli's, or what time your coming over for the holidays. I know it's been 2 years, but it seems like yesterday.
We miss you. Love you.

You were blessed with your time with her. Keep talking about her with your kids and make sure to pass on something she taught you.
Her being here was a miracle. Especially when we thought she wasn't going to see you get married. It is a blessing she was able to see Bagel, I know she would get the biggest kick out of her now. All sassy and fun.
I miss her too. She was my stand in grandma.
I just love Grandma's like that. My girl remembers my Grandma because we lived with her for a time. But my boy doesn't remember her to well. He just used to call her Grandma in the wheelchair because he only remembers her in that. But she was so vibrant and wonderful and helped me raise both of my kids for quite awhile. It's been 3 years but I miss her to pieces.
