Got the news today that grandma passed away last night. It's always a surprise even though she was 88 and had a bad stroke about 7 years ago. Grandpa passed in August, he went down to the home every day, weather permitting, to sit with grandma. I grew up about 2 miles down the road from them and sure miss them. Funny how smells do remind you of things, as at thenksgiving my sister made some rolls that smelled and tasted just like grandma's used to. Just one of the many fond memories. sorry for being long-winded just had to get it out.
 
When your memory calls em back. their not forgotten. Special people have that effect. Glad you remember, So Many Don't. Warmest reguards LOU.
 
Sorry to hear about your loss. My Dad has been gone a few years but think of him every time I smell fresh plowed dirt. He used to love that smell. That and the smell of the air right after a good rain - but I think every farmer likes that smell....
 
Sorry for your loss, I was fortunate enough to also have known my grandparents unlike my wife that never seen hers only stories of them, again you have my sympathy and try to keep strong in the days ahead, and treasure your memories!!!
 
Oh yes the stories. Used to go over there and they would tell us all sorts of stories about all sorts of things. I'm afraid i've forgot half of them but it's another good memory.
 
Amen on the smell of fresh plowed dirt, and the air after a good rain. The one other that takes me back is the smell of fresh cut alfalfa hay.
 
Very sorry to learn of your loss. As long as you remember them, they still live. Memory is a gift from God that death cannot destroy.
 
thats what shut her down then, no more grandpa. mates for so long it just happens like that. not complete anymore so they decide to just leave. She's better off now so try not to fret.
 
You've reached that age where your elders are passing on right and left.
I watched my grandma's generation pass when I was in my 20s and many of my dad's generation pass on in my late 40s. I'm late 50s now and only a couple of the old ones left. Makes you think about all the big shoes you'll have to fill.
My condolences.

I morn your loss as it reminds me of the loss of my father and the memories I have of him. I catch myself all the time referring to what I learned form him. Very often responding with "My dad used to----". I still live and work the old family farm and so each day I see him walking across the yard or out of the barn or hear him building something or can see him out leaning on a shovel while irrigating and any number of other things that he did but most of all realizing that I am still practicing or building on the lessons that he taught me. Like your sister and the roles, your grandmother was able to pass on her love and knowledge. As long as we remember this, they will be with us. What I pray is that I, as a parent can pass these same lessons and values on to my children and grandchildren so that my dad and mom and grandma and poppas legacy will continue to grow and be remembered. It isn't the size of the house but the love that it holds, and it's the same with families. With greatest comforting wishes to you all that may need comfort in this holiday season. Sincerely, LarryT
 
Sorry for your loss. Grandparents are very special people. I just lost my grandpa last January. I have been very blessed that my other three grandparents are still doing well and I am 27 and still get to spend time with them. Again, you have my thoughts.
 
I"m sorry to hear about your grandmother, Greg. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
