Grandmother

I've missed you ladies very deeply this last few weeks. On Tuesday the eleventh I lost one of the most influential women in my life, my grandmother. She meant the world to me and as a retired school teacher from the Deep South she instilled several things in me that coincide with the feminist model. She always, always told us to stay in school, get some education. "Be good for something else other than laying on ya back!" Lol I told you guys she was from the south! Whenever I come to visit her very first question was hows school? What's your major? What ya grades look like? She didn't care if I had on make up, a new dress, or a doctor on my arm. She was solely concerned about my self growth and the things I have planned for my future. I will miss her eternally but I'll never forget the things she's taught me. I love you forever and always grandmother, and nothing will ever change that.

  2. I'm sorry for your loss. It is wonderful that you have such powerfully positive memories of her though and is still able to inspire you.
