Sometimes I have those days where I feel like the world is crashing down on me. I wanted to share with everyone on what gets me through those days. Grandma Shirley!!!! She was an amazing lady and I am very proud to have the same middle name as here. I was only in 5th grade when my grandma lost the battle to cancer, but those few years that I had with her she made a huge impact on my life. She would always make crafts with my cousins and I even though she wasn't feeling that well. Little things in life still remind me of her. Every time I cook turkey bacon I try to make it like my grandma did but it never turns out as delicious as hers. Each Christmas I take out my stitched ornaments that she made that has the music box in them. The music box doesn't work anymore but I know that she is still with me every Christmas. My mom let me wear my Grandma Shirley's wedding ring as my something old for my wedding. Talk about a tear jerker. I was so blessed. I would like to thank my Grandma Shirley for teaching me the meaning of loving each moment of life and always keeping your head held high. Thank you for watching over me on those rough days....
