Often these days Grandma's warm, memory-filled kitchen is filled with people who love her, who just want to soak in the joy of her sweet spirit. Sometimes it seems like a small space for lots of chaos, but we are all treasuring each moment.
This past weekend Aunt Millie, the youngest sister, came to spend a few nights with Grandma, the oldest sibling. We really enjoyed having her with us. I tape recorded a few conversations of reminiscing between the sisters. We laughed, we cried, we prayed.
On Sunday, Aunt Tillie, the twin, came to join her sisters. She brought her granddaughters Leigh Ann and Laura. Aunt Benda, who was married to Grandma's brother Kirby and her friend Tom brought a lovely dinner (That's what you eat at noon at Grandma's house). Grandma's children, some grandchildren, and great-grandchildren were also in and out. It was a day of just soaking her in!
