Grandma Reeves

Sometimes there are people who you can never forget. Ever. My grandma Reeves is one of those people. I miss her everyday. I see her in my mom, my sister, my brothers and my cousins. She had an impact on people like no one I have ever known. My Grandma Reeves loved unconditionally and had a heart full of charity. A trait I try to work on everyday. My grandmas home was clean, warm and always smelled of a home cooked meal. It was full of laughter and love. I can still remember the feeling of her soft gentle hands as she would lovingly rub my eyes and get me to relax and feel better. She was patient, kind, understanding, not perfect and never claimed to be, but always trying her best. She worked hard everyday of her life. This woman was not lazy :), she was always doing. Grandma would send you home with some sort of trinket left behind by someone else. She would cut a rose from her garden or a slice of chocolate cake, or the last $5 she had in her pocket, you never left her home empty handed. My grandma loved her children, her grandchildren and even her great-grandchildren, pretty much anyone who walked in her home, but the one who she loved most was her husband. I loved to see her love grandpa. I am grateful for her example and for her love for me. I have been very lucky to have had the grandparents that I had. I miss them all, and I learned so much from each of them. Today is my Grandma Reeves' birthday and I miss her. I am so grateful to know that I will see her again. That families are forever and that we will be together again one day. Happy Birthday Grandma. I love you.
