I lived with her for a period of time in my life and I still miss her like crazy everyday! She was such an amazing woman who taught me how to cook, sew, and even do my hair in old fashioned curlers. She lived a simple happy life and I want to do exactly the same! I love how you said people should keep things simple, love and help those around you, and remember those who helped us grow up :) My Granny passed away 4 years ago tomorrow (can’t believe it’s been that long!!)

I miss my grandmother (Joyce) whom I was named after, my two grandfathers. Those are the only people I've ever lost. I do miss them a lot. It's good when people take the time to remember people who have passed away -- people who helped them grow up. I miss my great grandmother, Monnie, who made the best cheese straws ever.

What an amazingly loving tribute and one that I am most certain she probably approves of. I love the journal, but I really love the simple philosophy behind the whole thing. Wow, blown away. And I agree with Emma, I want to be your Granny when I grow up! Oh my gosh, I love this! What an amazingly loving tribute and one that I am most certain she probably approves of.

This warmed my heart so completely, and is so timely, my someone passed away 5 years ago tomorrow (5! It feels like just yesterday and clouded, distant past all at the same time) Thank you for sharing about your Granny, and your celebration, it's such a great tribute. It's important to celebrate those lives that shape our own so much - Hugs to you!

Thanks for sharing it. I think I'll celebrate Granny Day here too. My Granny died two years ago this month. I was largely pregnant with Quinn and I was with her in the emergency room. She knew she was going to die and we were just keeping her alive until her daughters could arrive and say their goodbyes. She kept her hand on my belly and smiled every time the baby kicked. Although she'll never meet him I know she loved feeling his life. It was a peaceful way to leave the earth. The circle of life. Excellent idea. Thanks for sharing it.
