ok...so

Ok so I started this blog thinking I would keep it anonymous and be able to share my feelings without having anyone know who I was. But I have discovered that the task is harder than I thought. And like others who have tried to conceal their identity before me examples, Clark Kent and Bruce Wayne; I too will eventually be found out so from this point on I am going to be straight forward and up front. I will still keep things vague from time to time and have lots of nicknames but the stories will all be true.
Today I will start with me I am a newlywed from a little town in the south. I am a true southern belle and take pride in traditions of my family and the south. I have been a Jesus loving, Holy ghost filled Preacher’s kid for most of my life and wouldn’t have it any other way. More to come….

I started off my day today just like any other; hitting the snooze on the alarm several times, throwing my shirt in the dryer so I didn’t have to turn on the iron, and rolling in late to work. When I got to work I realized the date… June 16th . Now to most people this day is just any other day but for my family it is the birthday of a very special person. Today my grandmother would have been 72 years old. As I sit here writing it is hard for me to believe she has been gone for almost 16 years, Wow! I remember my grandmother so vividly. She was tall, kind hearted, dark haired, mild mannered; a lady in every sense of the word. My grandmother was my best friend in the whole world. I can remember spending so much time with her. We would bake cookies, make play dough, tell stories, sew, crochet… I can attribute almost all of my home-making skills to what she taught me as a child. I miss her everyday and wish that she were still here but I know she is in heaven and loving it! Sometimes I wonder if my memories will always be so fresh in my mind or with time will they slowly fade. I find it harder every year to remember things like her smell or her hands. My grandmother had a hard life but never let it dictate how she lived or the way she treated others. She taught me to be kind and treat people the same whether they like me or not. She taught me that God should be the center of my life and that if I always put God first everything else would fall into place. I wonder if she were here today what she would think about the choices I have made in my life and if she would be proud. I know she would love my husband! He is so much like my dad, down to their love of cookies! Haha And to her Daddy was the son she never had. I loved my grandma and I am a better person for having had her in my life even if it was for only a short time. Rest in Peace CCP 1937-1993
