Well, another serious blog challenge again today! Lets hope i can keep it together without crying! LOL! And i apologize in advance because there is more than one thing that i miss so I'm talking about them all! :D
2. Talks with my Grandma. Boy do i miss those. I could talk to her about anything. I remember like it was yesterday when she got me and my first boyfriend together. I hate bringing it up but it was just cool how my Grandma did it. We were talking one day and she said, what do you think about Darius. I say well hes pretty cool friend, blah blah blah. She says, well i think he likes you. I say ewww really.. Omg i hope not! hes ugly and fat and short and hes my friend! She says, Erin Nicole, don't talk about people like that. I taught you better than to bad mouth people. You don't want anyone to say that about you, so don't say things like that about them. That boy is a nice boy. Who cares if hes short, ugly, or fat. If he treats you right that's all that matters. I say but nanny hes not my color and if we go out bubba Steve, papa, and papa bobby are gonna get mad at me. She says, Honey don't you worry about them and don't worry about his color. That's another thing you don't worry about. Just because hes a different color than you doesn't mean that you cant date each other. Color doesn't matter and what people say don't matter either! She also said, Erin Nicole in life don't you ever judge a book by its cover before you open it and read what its about! I will never forget that day for the rest of my life. That day paved the way to the day that i met the love of my life! The day i met him I didn't judge him. I met him, got to know him, became friends with him, and in the end fell in love with him! If it wasn't for my Grandma, i don't think that day or any other day after that would have ever happened.
3. Grandma and Great Grandma's cookin'. OMG! Totally took that for granted too! Geez, their cooking was something else! I loved it! I guess what made their cooking so good was that they cooked from the heart! I inherited some of that. They took pride in their cooking and i do too! But my cooking is no where near as good as theirs! Their cooking was so good it would make you wanna slap your momma! haha!
4. Sunday's at Great Grandma's! I couldn't wait for Sunday's! That meant quality time and eating time at great grandmas house! Gosh that was some good eating! It was lunch and dinner combined at one setting! Homemade from scratch Chicken n dumplings with homemade from scratch biscuits! Next time smith field ham with cabbage, homemade from scratch mashed potatoes, and biscuits! Another Sunday Fried Chicken, mashed potatoes, and corn and biscuits! YUMMYY!! Those were the good ol' days!
5. My family being close. I mentioned it in another blog i did a while back but i cant help it i really do miss my family being close. From Sundays at Great Grandmas to sleepovers with my cousin. My whole family was always together! We always had cookouts at great grandmas too! Every summer, every holiday! Memorial day, Labor day, 4th of July, you name it we were celebrating! LOL! We always got together for every ones birthday too! We were always together! I guess i even took that for granted too! I guess I thought even if something were to happen to my Great Grandma or Grandma my family would still stay together and be together! But like i said life has a funny way of turning out the way you didn't expect! I guess everything was suppose to happen the way it all did. Things happen for a reason!
So, there you have it! Just a few things that i miss! I cant bring those things back but i can sure hold on to those memories and tell my children someday about those memories and about their Great Grandma and their Great Great Grandma!
Until next time, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oiS8YokFzeY a clip from the movie beaches and the song that was dedicated to my Grandma a long time ago! <3
