I owe so much to my Grandma.
Today she would have been 93 years old. She had 89 beautiful years. 
I can close my eyes and still smell the smells of her house- the hallway closet of coats, the pantry downstairs, the delicious smells of her cooking. 
I can close my eyes and hear her laugh. Can still hear her voice that would greet me when I called her on the phone.
I can close my eyes and remember sitting on a rocking chair with her on her porch, watching the cars drive by. 
Her love was like a warm hug. 
She was always on my side. 
What a gift to have a Grandma like her in my life. 
I miss her every single day but especially today on her birthday.
​I owe so much to my Grandma.

Grandmothers are truly special family members. Your description of her made me feel like I could feel her hug. It felt very similar to my grandma's.

Oh, what a beautiful tribute to your grandmother. You've remembered her with all of your senses and and all of your heart. Even 89 years doesn't seem like enough when we love someone so deeply. Sending you a hug, friend.

What a special relationship you had with your grandma. How lucky for both of you. You are keeping her spirit alive when you share these heartfelt memories. I love the line "She was always on my side." How wonderful to feel that.
