Memories of My Grams

Tonight I feel like writing about my grams. My cousin Sam from California wrote a facebook post about their grams and it literally transported me back to my childhood memories with my own grams.

When I was little - I would often spend many of nights on the weekend at my grandmother's house. She moved several times during my childhood living in a house, an apartment and a trailer.

I particularly remember one memory where my grams had her living room set up where she had a couch, then a table and very close to her table was her tv. I was always a small child growing up so I could squeeze myself between the glass table and the tv set. I remember fondly my grams always made me peaches and cream oatmeal and putting on Saturday morning cartoons. I would sit in that place for hours watching many shows.

Another fond memory I have is getting to go with my grandmother worked at Uni-Mart as a manager and I got to go to spend the day at work with her. For lunch I got to pick whatever I wanted from the store :)

My grams was always there for me when she was alive. I miss her greatly and I wish she could see the person that I am becoming. I hope that I am making her proud.

My biological mom picked my middle name Lee. My grams name was Lenore but everyone called her Lee. So now through-out the rest of my life I'll carry my grams with me.
