The BEST!!!

I know a lot of people believe they have or had the best grandparents, but I can honestly say that My Grandma and Grandpa Ginn were the BEST!!! They have both passed away and there are days when I wish I could just sit with them and hold there hand and ask there advice. I wish my children could have known them, they truly were 2 of the most amazing people I have ever known.

I have so many fond memories of being at their house and especially all the great food my Grandma used to make. I always knew I would get ice cream and a fudge stripe cookie from the freezer, to this day I can't look at one of those cookies without thinking of her. I can remember how my Mom used to tell her to not give us much, but my Grandma would tell her not to worry about it that she had it under control. When I was newly married I tried to make her frozen peaches and it just wasn't the same. The homemade bread was to die for and I can almost taste her Thanksgiving stuffing...YUMMY! She was the one that taught me how to sew and I can still remember the drawer with all her thread. She left a huge impression on my heart. I think what I remember most was the love she shared with my Grandpa. They had a love that will surely last through the eternities. He loved her so much and he showed it, what an incredible man he was. There have been so many times in my life since his death that I wish I could ask him 1 question. I wish he was here to say a prayer with me, when he prayed you felt the spirit. I still remember visiting him in the hospital before he died and Brian was so emotional, I have never seen him cry like that in 12 years. He touched Brian's heart in a powerful way. Before Grandpa died he asked me to sing How Great Thou Art at his funeral, and I am not sure how I managed to do such a thing. I have sung that song many times since and it always bring such emotion. I feel so blessed to have know these 2 people and to be blessed enough to have them as Grandparents. I could write a book on the lessons I learned from them, pay your tithing and pray always would be at the top. I have never know anyone who lived their religion more then these two. I hope to be half the woman my Grandma was, I hope my legacy is as strong. I know it is because of them my mother is so self-less, but that is a post all it's own. I firmly believe she learned from the BEST!

I had a picture I was going to scan into my computer, but I was out of ink and I had to write this today, I miss them and remembering feels good!!!
