Celebrating Life

This weekend we were out of town remembering and celebrating the life of my grandma.

IMG 0323We enjoyed our time with family members- eating, drinking and reminiscing.

We looked at pretty flowers and saw beautiful sunsets, all the while celebrating a beautiful life.

We gathered together as a family and laughed over the antics of a crazy dog.

We played Grandma’s favorite game and revisited our childhood.

We didn’t always live close by, but she was always there for me. She watched countless soccer and basketball games, hosted a million birthday parties and holiday dinners, and she was there for every single milestone in my life- my Confirmation, all of my graduations, my wedding….She was a beautiful person, inside and out and she will be missed.

I love you Grandma.

And now if you’ll excuse me, I’m off to make some of Grandma’s jello and a big bowl of Turkey Dumpling Soup.

    That’s so sweet – I love that you all were able to get together and celebrate that way. You’re so lucky to have had her in your life! What game is that? I’ve never seen it – very cool that you played her fave. 🙂

      haha it’s called horse race. someone made it for her and my family plays it every christmas. it basically involves poker chips and luck and a lot of dice rolling 🙂 plain and simple but we get pretty into it!

    what a beautiful thing to be able to do … thanks for sharing.

    and i’m sorry but i have to ask – was the dog carrying on w/ the “frantic antics” hers? if so, does he have a home to go to? aren’t our pets wonderful touchstones for staying grounded and real during the difficult times in our lives? that pic w/ the tennis balls certainly bring smiles 🙂

      pets are the best! luckily this dog is my aunt and uncle’s, not my grandma’s….so he was just around to bring smiles and laughter to the celebration 🙂
