Almost all my happy memories from childhood are at Grandma and Papa's house. Watching Grandma cook and helping her set the table countless times. Her delicious pork steaks that I *almost* replicated, but hers were always better. Early morning coffee and just watching the lake. Her taking us to the office and showing us around. Ice cream dates. Shopping at the mall. Chasing the sun on the boat. Wearing life jackets as giant diapers. Playing on the trampoline and slide. One of my absolute favorites was when we were older, at night when the lake was still, we went and watched the stars from the water with Grandma. There was a week we spent there one time, and I accidently called her Mom (and called Mom 'Grandma' when she got there). All of the laughs and utter joy she brought to a room. I love her so much, and have so many fond memories to smile on. I'm glad she gets to rest now, and watch us grow and continue her lessons of love and light.
