Memories


Today's Topic: A memory you would love to relive.

 
There are so many moments in life that I would like to relive. Of course, they are all happy moments or moments that are sentimental in some way. It is so hard to pick just one. I would love to relive the obvious moments, like our wedding day. But those moments were not that long ago, and are still fresh in my mind.

The one moment I would love to relive is the last time I got to visit with my Grandma Jerry. She passed away just days after the ending of my sophomore year of high school. The last time I had seen her was the last break from school when we went to visit her. (We lived in Georgia and she was in Greensburg PA...where I am from.)  I wish I could relive hearing her laugh as we talked about past memories, or one of the many games of cards that we played together, taste one of her amazing meals, the smell of her perfume, just listening to her voice. Her calling me Deenie. My Grandma Jerry and Grandpa Carl were the only ones that I ever let call me a nickname, and they always called me Deenie.

I would give anything to relive one last moment with her. There are so many questions that I wish I would have asked her when I still had the chance.

  1. Wasn't this question tough - I mean really, how do you talk about one memory? Love having a peek into your life and your Grandma!

  2. I love all the memories you have of your Grandma Jerry. What was your favorite card game that you played with her? This might sound crazy but I bought a bottle of the perfume my Grandma used to wear (she passed away when I was young)... I like to smell it once in awhile, it just brings back so many memories and feelings when I smell it.
