Gramma

Hey guys, I am really missing my gramma right now. I found this pic about a year ago. I don't remember this pic being taking, it was taken in 1980 (I was 8 years old). Look at those nobby knees and those short shorts... AHHHH I wouldn't be in those now!!! And you know I don't remember EVER being that skinny!!

Gramma died June 23, 2000, and it was very quick, she just gave up. She lived 3 years without the love of her life, my grandpa (he died Aug. 3, 1997) and she just couldn't handle life without him, and got so sad without him around.

I completely understand that, my hubby is off to go hunting in 9 days... and I HATE hunting season!! This year he will be gone for only 6 days, but normally he is gone for about 11 to 12 days...and I don't sleep well, and I get really sad. I can't imagine being married for 60 years, and only were separated for the time that he was in service during World War 2, to suddenly be without the one you love. I was angry for a long time after she died, because she meant so much to me, but now I understand - at least a little bit. I miss her still...and always will.

Now... on to the 2 peas challenge: 10 reasons why you feel the need to write...

I think Journally is very important part of the LO, it tells the story and it enhances the page. On the same note, I don't journal on every LO, some don't need it, and if you do LOs on the same subject then after 2 pages theres not a lot of need for it after that.

Happy Scrapping!
