Today would be Grandma Hall's 87th birthday! She left us early last year, but for some reason I have been thinking a lot about her. She sure was a person that left her mark on this world, and she had a lot of influence on her family. We always knew to not talk about politics with her. If you did you were for sure going to be leaving the house not on very good terms. You could never get things right when it came to politics. She could make the best bread I have ever tasted in my life. I don't know that it was the best ever, but when you grow up with it and then don't have it, it is the best! She for sure knew how to feed a family or a person. If you left grandmas
house hungry there was something not right with YOU! She would always get offended if you didn't go for seconds. "What's the matter don't like my cookin?" We would always have to tell people that came to eat to get a small first serving so you could get seconds.

We would always have to tell people that came to eat to get a small first serving so you could get seconds. Grandma would do anything for her family. They were the most important people in the world to her. If she could help out she would. Growing up as a little girl she was home to me for many years. My life would not be the same without her influence in my life. Trust me there were many times our heads butted against each other. She had her opinions, and she dang sure let you know what they were. She had a way of being bullheaded at times. Yep there were many times we didn't get along. But I loved her completely.
Since around Christmas time I have been missing my grandma so much. Today when I woke up I knew what day it was and my heart was aching a little. I miss you Grandma! What I wouldn't give for one more conversation, for one more ride to mountians, for one more home cooked meal, for one more walk around the park, for one more ear full, for one more day with you. I don't think I ever told you completely how much I loved you, you were my rock! I always knew if I needed somewhere to come and repair my life you would be there to offer that. Thank you for everything you gave me, for being my Grandma that loved so totally yet still in her own way. I miss you so much, I wish you could have met your great grandbaby! I know it was your time to go, but for me it is just so hard to say goodbye. Thanks Becca for the pictures, I stole them!

Aww, make me cry! I miss Grandma too, but then I always think about the last time I saw her and how miserable she was away from her home and not being able to see or hear, and I'm happy that she's back with Grandpa and she has those senses back.
You did an amazing job with this post--everything is put beautifully.:) I hope it helped to get that all out and maybe have some closure. Love the pictures, too.:)

Kymi,
That made me cry too, you really have a gift of expressing your feelings in writing. I remember your grandma's bread, her tacos and even her macarooni, She was a sweet heart even if she never said bye on the telephone. I have good memories of her smiling while she got christmas caroled;or her determined walk with scruffy or dandy as she walked around the park. She was a good lady.
love ya, kara
Kym,
You have revived some special memories. Thanks for the special way you express yourself.
Love,
Dad
