Tex's blog: "Dedicated to Grandma"

Well, here is yet another post in my dedication to my grandma. As the days go by it doesn't get any easier to accept the fact that she is gone. It doesn't hurt any less than it did the day she died. We are supposed to cleaning all of her stuff out of her house, yet I can't bring myself to going over there. I was sitting here the other day thinking, and every thing that came to mind was memories of my grandma. From her taking me to baseball games when I was a kid, to her yelling at me for getting in trouble with the cops when I was a teenager. To be honest I don't have one bad memory of the time I spent with her. Even the last 6 months, while her body was giving out and it was hard for her to breath, the time with her was worth it.

To those who know me best know that my grandma was that one person on top of the hill that you could only wish I could be as strong as even the soles of her shoes. She ment the world to me and helped me get through so many hard times. I will be posting random blogs about her life as it is what is helping me cope with loosing her. Thank you for reading.
