I think I miss my grandma. My grandma was one of my best friends. She still is. It's just that I can't talk to her every day like I used to...
Over a period of a few years I got in the habit of calling my grandma on almost a daily basis. We would talk about life and it's happenings and then go about our day. I found great strength from these talks. As time grew closer to my grandma's last days here on earth I started paying attention more to what she was saying always wondering if the last thing she said would be the last thing I heard from her. Grandma passed away on the eve of Mothers Day. How very appropriate...
I am very much like my grandma in so many ways. I just wish I could talk to her now and she could help me understand myself better. If she couldn't do that, she would at least validate my crazy life.... Holistic Health, Writing, Mother Hen Mothering, etc...
Yes! I miss you grandma...

It was kind of ironic that you should blog about Rhea... The other night we were having family prayer and my dad had a slip of the tongue and prayed that Rhea would regain her health and strength and continue to be a shining example to those who knew her. He meant to say "Vera" - an elderly lady in the ward but his slip of the tongue made me reflect on the different 'Rhea Moments' that I was able to enjoy while she was living next door. I loved your Grandma and her strength, faith, and her quirkly ways.
It's good to hear that you are doing well with your family. Good luck to both you & Leif with your studies. Even though I work in the pharmaceutical industry, we put out a CAM guide every year that talks about herbal remedies and I find it to be very fascinating. (this is Joy, lived next door in the 4th ward)
