• Random Prompt-"Did you have a close relationship with any of your grandparents? Tell about it"

  "Did you have a close relationship with any of your grandparents? Tell about it. "

  I used to feel the safest and the best with my Grandma S. She was my maternal grandmother.

  She died when I was 14, but I used to visit her a lot and hang out with her, and we were buddies when I was growing up.

  She taught me how to cook a little and how to crochet, and I would bring my games and toys over to her apartment  and play with them. I would sometimes stay overnight with her- I remember and taking long hot baths (every time I see pink Dove soap and smell it I think of her)...and then going to watch TV before going to sleep.  

  Even after she moved into the nursing home I loved going to visit her. Everyone there would say that she and my mom and I looked a lot alike. We would sit and talk and my mom and I would bring her presents. They had a gift shop there where we could go and check things out, or we could go walk around the grounds. They would have barbecues and ice cream socials and parties and my mom and I would go there with her. My grandma continued to craft while she was there, she did her crocheting and started quilting and she made afghans and quilts and I still have some of the things she made.
