Her hugs, warm and lingering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Her giggle, it reminded me of my Grandpa, her Dad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Her smell, a mixture of hairspray, Suave lotion, Arm&Hammer detergent and Icy Hot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The twinkle in her eyes when I would walk into the house\u2026exactly the twinkle her Mom, my Gran had.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Her belly laugh. She\u2019d get so tickled she\u2019d have tears running down her cheeks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The sound of her peppermint candy (or cinnamon or butterscotch) clicking on her teeth when we talked on the phone every day at 4pm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Waking to the smell of muffins in the oven every time I\u2019d visit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Watching her remote control obsession or her \u201cclicker\u201d as she called it\u2026checking the score of whatever ballgame was on during the commercial break of one of her \u201cshows\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hearing her give me the lowdown on whatever was in her church bulletin and who was on the prayer list.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Her sneezes\u2026we both have the loudest sneezes\u2026and never sneeze just once.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The way she\u2019d pat my hand when she sat beside me on the couch while watching church online.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Her voice answering the phone saying, \u201cHowdy do! How are you?\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Watching her breathe as she napped in her spot on the loveseat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hearing the click of her walker wheels as she went from the carpet to the tile and back to carpet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Kissing her good night and her telling me to sleep tight and to not let the bedbugs bite\u2026again my grandparents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Knowing she was a phone call or a 2.5 hour drive away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Listening to her pray.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Watching her mark up her Sunday school book and her Bible with her red Bic pen. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hearing her say, \u201cOh, shoot!\u201d\u2026that was about as bad as her language got.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Listening to her answer the questions on her favorite show, Jeopardy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Watching her love on my husband, Bixby. She thought he hung the moon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hearing her say my name and I love you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Everything\u2026I miss absolutely everything about my Mom!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Peace and blessings to you and yours!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
