God how I miss this woman. When I think of Emma (my maternal grandmother), all I can think is that I wouldnt be the woman I am today without her. She taught me so many things, she made me believe I could do anything I wanted in life as long as I gave it my best. She taught me how to be "thrifty" (ok most would say I got my cheapness from her lol) but also how to behave like lady. I remember running around the house in her high heels pretending to be a waitress just like she used to be. Who knew I would end up in the restaurant business myself?
She was the only woman to this day that I know who could drink a keg to herself, smoke a pack of cigarettes a day, and "garden" (we all know its landscaping when its 21 acres of land) in her 6 inch heels. She had the oddest little remedies for everything. To her garlic would solve any problem you had.
I regret not getting married sooner so she could be at my wedding. I regret not having kids sooner so they could meet her. They would have loved her, and she would have adored them.
I know I get sad thinking of her not being with us anymore, but I can truly say that my heart beats a little faster when I think of all the good memories I have shared with her. I miss her everyday, and if shes reading this up there, I hope she knows how thankful I am for everything she has every done for me.
