I'm sitting here half crying an half laughing thinking of my Grandma at 80 yrs old being a giant hotdog for Halloween! She sure was one of a kind! What other Grandma's out there would take the hose through the house and up the stairs to shoot the neighbors when having a water fight, or play ball with you (and yell at you if you didn't throw it hard to her....don't go easy on me she'd say), not to mention be at all your softball games (with gum and licorice for my team) heckling the umpires! She was the fun Grandma and 5 years ago was the last time I talked to her, she was going out to shovel (for the old people at her complex)....sometime it seems like just yesterday, and other times it feels like she has been gone for so long. Grandma Jackie was my best friend and I miss her so! I am glad she is in heaven with Grandpa and Jesus, and I am sure that she is bowling with Grandma Audrey, but I still miss her tons. I wonder sometimes if she was still here what she would have been for Halloween, or what trouble we would have gotten into, would she have the newest iphone/ninetendo (of course!). I know she would love watching Jackie play Wii (Jackie wants to win just as bad as Grandma Jackie!), she'd be laughing at Grace eating ice cream and making a mess, she'd be nervous about Austin cause he is a dare devil, and she would love to watch Ava do her Elsa impression! I am lucky to have had my Grandma in my life for so long, and I am so grateful for that! I have so many fun and funny memories with her, I loved her so much and that is probably why I miss her so much. Miss you Grandma Jackie, love you more!
