Goodbye great grandma

On Saturday we said goodbye to a great lady who has had a big influence in my life. My great-grandmother passed away at a ripe old age of 94, and she left behind many generations who all love her fondly.

Being the eldest great grandchild in the family, she pampered me like any great grandmother would. She stayed just a level below our unit and I would always go to her house to play when I was younger. I remembered the times when I used to drag her to accompany me back home when I did something wrong and was afraid to be punished by my parents. Being the loving great grandmother, she was always there to shield me when I got myself into trouble as a kid. I was a mischievous kid but she never raised her voice at me and always loved playing with me.

Great grandma had a weakness for coffee and anything sweet. I would always remember fondly the memory of her asking for coffee when we went to the hospital to visit her. She refused to take food and other beverages, but coffee was the only thing she would glady take.

Goodbye great grandma. I'm sure that you are in a better place and we will always miss you...
