Today I just wanted to expree my love for grandparents--I am so lucky to have such wonderful grandparents in my life. My Grandma and Grandpa Andrew have both unfortunately passed on, but their love and example live with me always. My Grandpa Andrew is probably the sweetest man I have ever known! He had no guile and just the sweetest, biggest heart ever!
My Grandma Andrew was the same, always such a delight to be around. I remember going to visit them and she would always have oreos in here blue jar on the counter. We would sit on the couch and visit with them and then raid the cookie jar and head downstairs to fight over who would get to play the frogger game first.
My Grandma and Grandpa Jolley are the funnest grandparents EVER! My Sweet Grandma is the most amazing seamstress and best cook in the whole world. She made all of my prom dresses and altered my wedding dress to make it perfect. She has lovingly and willingly shared her talent with so many around her. She is also the best Hand and Foot partner ever because she NEVER loses. I think that is one of my favorite memories with them, staying up into the wee hours of the morning playing hand and foot! I also never left grandma's house without getting my take-home treat!
My Grandpa is the sweetest and cutest old Grump you ever saw! His loving, twinkling eyes can make anyone feel happy. I remember one of my favorite memories as a kid was going up to grandma and grandpa's house and taking long walks with grandpa over to the golf course or just sitting out on his swing looking at the beautiful mountains or star filled sky. Grandpa is the funnest to have on your team in Hand and Foot because he cheats the best! Grandpa is also the best to watch movies with , especially comedies because his laugh is so contagious.
I never got to meet Brian's granparents because they both passed away before we met, but I know how much mine mean to me and I am sure they were just the same. It is so hard to accept that my grandparents won't be here in my life forever. I love them so much and hate to think of life without them. They really are the greatest ever. I just wanted to pay this little tribute to them and let them know how much I love them!!
