Remembering Mamaw

If you're close to me you've probably heard by now that my Grandmother passed away this past Friday. If you've been looking for me this is why I haven't been available on any social networks lately.

I've been wanting to write a bit about Mamaw but it's not worked out yet. Usually writing helps me get through things like this but this weekend I kept choking up whenever I made an attempt.

She was sweet, funny, stern, an amazing cook, a hard worker and the one of the most loving people I've ever known. She had 9 children which is amazing to me. I only have two and they completely exhaust me. I don't know how she did it with probably at least 5 being small children at a time. Talk about a strong mother!

She lived a full life, surrounded by family and friends who loved her and will now miss her, including myself.

Her passing came out of the blue for me. My only regret is that I wish I could have spent more time with her the past few years.

She will live on through us as long as we remember her teachings and practice them ourselves.

I'm not sure what else to say as I'm getting to the limit where I get upset. I'll miss you Mamaw and I love you. I'll always hold your memory close to my heart and I hope that one day I'll see you again.

Thanks for reading.
