I am going to my my grandma! Life gets hectic and I was only able to see her a couple of times throughout my adult life, but the times I shared with her, in the mornings watching her squirrels in her backyard, playing Canasta and other card games, those will be memories I will have forever. I will always love how kind she was to me when we were kids, and how she always went out of her way to visit us for the holidays. I love you and will soon you soon!
