Remember Me

Today marks the one year anniversary of my Grandmother's passing. It's hard to believe that a year has passed. Where has the time gone?


I've been thinking recently how things have changed, not only in the year since my grandmother's death, but just since I was Samantha & Sarah's age. Whenever I do things with the girls, thoughts and memories come back to me of things my Grandmother did for me. For example, whenever I think of my grandmother, I remember what an AMAZING cook she was. She could make egg noodles taste like a 5-star restaurant cooked them. I remember she would reward me with the most simple of things: if I finished my dinner, I would get a semi-frozen juice box and tear the top open for a slushy treat. These are the simple things that Jeremy and I are teaching the Madore-ables.


The more time I spend with my girls, the more I realize that that was exactly how my Grandmother felt about me. It's so easy to remember my grandmother and the kind things she did for me and others. I wonder what things the Madore-ables will remember about me?






Will they remember me for:

• Picnic lunches on our deck in nice weather?


• Making silly voices during story time?


• Scavenger hunts at the grocery store?


• Playing Train's "Hey Soul Sister" and Jars of Clay's "Two Hands" on repeat in the car?


• Cooking and baking?


• Blowing bubbles and sidewalk chalk?


• Hugs and kisses


• Fun field trips with the local playgroup?

There are so many things to remember my Grandmother for. Too many to mention here, but I do know that she was always happy to see her grandchildren when we came to visit...and she was even more happy to see her great-grandchildren.

Thank you for the good memories Grammy...we miss you.

I miss you.
