So I'm sitting here, trying not to think of the situation we're in because to me, it doesn't feel real. Doesn't feel like I lost someone but reality is, I did lose someone & this is real. My life changed forever on the 4th when we got a call from a family member saying that my Grandma took her last breath. After taking her off of life support the day before, she held on for 15 hours & finally decided that it was time. What a strong woman! Something I always admired about her was her strength. God know's how much that woman has been through within her 63 years of living. With being married at such a young age, came multiple responsibilities but a woman like her had no complaints. At 15 she was doing what half of the women do when they are in their 20's but my Gram always said, "if you want to build your empire, you need to start off young" & she definitely did that with the help of my Grandpa! After 46 years of marriage. They have not only built their empire but they created an entire army of kids, grand kids to carry on the legacy. I look back on the 21 years I've had with my grandparents & I'm grateful to know the ins & outs of how this world works. Like my Papa always said, "in order to make it in this world, you must always be ruthless" & that, we are! Thank you both for all that you have taught me. You will never be forgotten. I love you both.
