    My grandmother was a wonderful and strong person. She survived world war 2. She was a doctor’s assistant. After the war she made clothes and sold them to make money. I truly respected her determination and will. She was a survivor. She did what she wanted to do. She loved me so much. Many times I wished she was my mother. She would always tell me your bringing boys home again. I would tell her, “not my fault”. She wanted to tell me right for the right man, but she didn’t because of my parents. She was kind and warm hearted, and she was headstrong. She was my friend. I would sit with her and watch shows. Golden girls, All in the family, and some old movies. Boy, I miss her. She never gave up on me. Her food was good and her warmth was my blanket. She would let me stay with her at the beach, and in the winter she would go to Florida where it was warm. I am glad she came into my life. She will never be forgotten. Spiritually she is still with me and my grandfather too. I never knew him, but I knew he loved reading. Love for them will never die. I respect them both. It is unfortunate my parents didn’t turn out like them. But you can’t win it all. My grandparents are in my heart. My mother’s mom was cool too. She was independent and she worked until she couldn’t. They will be in my heart and mind always.

    Have a good day or night. Thanks for reading Avril

    I have written about my husband a few times. Sorry it is repetitive. He is the only one who listened to me, loved me for me and excepted all of my flaws. Good and bad. It is lonely to grow old alone. But I am always faithful to him. He filled my life children, and happy moments.

    We met when we were children, and I did not know we would get married. He was amazing. We met another time, but it was a quick glance and a smile. But the third time it stuck. 35 years together. Wow. We had many things in common. Sometimes it was pretty scary.. Me as a girl and him as a guy. But the situations were somewhat different. Life is mystical and magical, but love was always the key to my happiness.

    It is sad that we could not live to old age together. I always respected him as a person, and I believed in him as much as he believed in me. When he got sick I looked after him, and I did not think twice about it. Love and patience I had for him. We ended up fighting a lot because he was miserable, but I always gave in and said sorry. No regrets. Love and trust is what we had for each other. Even though he is not here, I still love him.

    He was always believing in me when I did not believe in me. He said I should write because it made me happy. I feel writing is the only thing that I am good at, so here I am. No matter what happens live your life with trust, good communication, and honesty. Start your relationship with friendship because love is just the icing on the cake.

    Keep smiling and love each other no matter what.

    Thanks for reading and dropping by.
