Of All Things..

They shared their first date on(Dec 7,1941) the day Pearl Harbor was bombed. They married 6mos later (Jun 8,1942. They built a business & bought a home.Raised a family. (The American Dream) They lost their son, when he drown at 17yrs old. Through it all, for 65yrs, they showed everyone in their life what it meant to love someone. I am blessed that "they" were my rock..... 


Many things have fallen apart in my life.  Things did not go as I thought they would.  Do they ever go as we think they will?  We need to be better equipped to adapt and move forward.  I have learned this over and over again.  Over the last six years, I have found many changes to adapt to.  The loss of my grandparents really was the hardest I have ever faced.  Any of my friends can agree, that I have been a bit blue.  Bubbly... not so much.  Taking the world on with a smile as best as I can as my grandparents would want me to.  They are truly missed and not a day goes by that I do not think of them.

Today it has been a year..

You are missed Nana...
I was blessed to have known you and been in your life.
You gave so much to us all.

It is true that your cooking was wonderful and no one made us feel more at home than you.  I loved playing card games with you and just simply being in your company.  You & Papa always made me feel loved.  I cherish all that you taught me.  Of all things... I miss holding your hand the most.

Give Papa (&Uncle Danny) hugs and kisses in heaven.

all my love,
Jeri Diane
