Just wanted to jot down a few random things I'll always remember about Granny.
Whenever I stayed the night at her house, she always let me sleep right next to her in her bed.
She used to sit at my desk at the office and tap out songs with a pen and make me guess them.
She refused to ever wear the color gray.
She and Walt were the only grandparents (on either side) at our sealing in Bountiful.
She always told me that I looked just like her when she was my age, and she would dig out pictures to prove it.
She was tough. Just like my mom and every other woman in this family.
She bought
Bradlee's blessing dress for her.
She and Walt used to get in fights at the office and they would just yell at
each other from their separate offices. SO FUNNY!
She always used to tell me stories about how she used to love to go dancing with her brother Jack.
The candy drawer, dresser and closet. OBVIOUSLY!
I love how everyone called her Granny, even if they weren't related.
She once said, "Tan cellulite looks better than white cellulite."
The last time I said goodbye to her was Christmas of 2007 at the movie theater in
Klamath after National Treasure 2.
The hardest part is worrying about my mom and Molly. I hate for my mom to be sad, and Molly has spent so much time with Granny these last few years, I know it must be harder on her than the rest of us kids. It makes me sad that she never got to meet Brock, but I know she'll be watching out for us, and I know she'll meet him one day.
As of May 21st, my oldest brother is OLD! All of us siblings think that you are by far the most generous and sincere. You never forget to tell me you love me when we get off the phone. If I don't really want to know what you think...I won't ask you for an opinion. You're the smartest and most adventurous. Just thought you might want to know what people are saying behind your back! I love you! Happy birthday, brother!
