Life has a horrible way of reminding you that we’re all on borrowed time and how we use that time is incredibly important.  The latest such reminder arrived this morning with the news that Jenn’s grandmother passed away.  “GG”, as the boys called her, had the rough exterior of a strong woman who’d seen a challenging life but she had a heart of gold…and the recipe to one hell of an apple pie.

GG would always light up when the boys walked into the room.  A few weeks ago we were, thankfully, able to visit her.  As tired as she was, she didn’t hesitate to grab the boys and give them the biggest hug she could.  For those of us who’re left behind, we’re stuck fighting the sense of loss.  For me, I like to cling to the good memories; the taste of apple pie and the unconditional love of a grandmother and her grandchildren.

Rest In Peace GG.
