And just like that...

She is gone. My beautiful grandmother passed away this morning around 11:30am.
There is so many memories of my
Mamaw too many to count but here are a few ...
-summers with cousins
- days at the creek
- Christmas with Papaw in his red pants
- swallowing an entire melon(for Scott)
-senior pictures on the wall of aunt and uncles
- creek shoes
- clicking of all their cooktop clocks
- playing with my Papaws toys since he was a toy maker
- picking blueberries
- rides to church
- Mamaw coming to get me at school when I was sick
- comparing notes on Christian romance novels
- her beautiful hair
- her beautiful clothes
- her beautiful skin
- her wonderful singing voice
- her love for me and my children
- her sense of humor
- sounds of her furnace
- her love of candy
- swinging on her porch swing
- the smell of her laundry room
- the perfect love between my Mamaw and papaw is a legacy

I have selfish confession. We all used to go to church together... For years. I would love to sit with just so she would rub my back with her fingertips. I would get chills... Now for my crazy confession... I would still get the same feeling when I saw her rubbing my children's backs. Odd I know.. But it is true. I wish i would have told her.

Oh the smells... Touches... Kisses... Hugs from a grandmother who will never be forgotten.

I love you Mamaw...and will see you again in heaven. I am sorry I wasn't there. But you would have loved this little firecracker, Avah.
