Grandma

There are few people in the world who I can say truly have changed or impacted my life in an amazing way. Two days before Christmas, I lost one of these people, my grandma. This woman was unlike any other. She was gentle, kind, loving, patient, she was selfless, caring, generous, supportive, she was an example to me that I will forever remember. Never once did I hear her raise her voice, never once did I hear her say no, never once did I find her frustrated, angry, or annoyed, everything she did she did with love. She was always so calm, sweet, and gentle. My grandma had the most loving touch, never will I forget the way she would hold my hand and rub my fingers. Anytime I was around her I felt cared for and loved. I don't think any person who knew her doubted her love or wondered if she cared.
My grandparents have the best love story and, in my opinion, no other love here will ever trump their love for one another. They fell in love young and were married for over 69 years. The way they love one another is something to hope for, but rarely see. I don't even know how to explain it, but their hearts were one and they were complete whenever they were together. You could always catch them cuddling, holding hands, and stealing looks of love across the room, table, or in the car. They didn't care who saw and really anyone who did see was blessed by seeing their love for each other.
Grandma is truly one in a million. Her legacy is love. She will forever be remembered and only the most wonderful things will ever be said about her. I wish everyone had a Grandma Strachan, we would all be so different and we would know how to love one another so much more deeply. Grandma, you are missed and will forever be missed. We all love you so very much Grandma.
