It's hard to believe, but it's been a year since my Granny (Mom's Mom) left us. We prefer to focus on her life and the fun we had together than her passing.
Here I am the first time I met her! It was Christmas time and we fly down to Hilton Head. I was about 10 months old and it was probably the first time I'd ever been on an airplane. (Mom figures I flew from Kansas to NYC when I was a little puppy.) Granny thought Mom was crazy to get a dog, much less a puppy, because she worked alot and already had two cats. But I won her over and before long, not only was I sleeping on HER bed, but I had almost as many toys at Granny's house as I did in New York!
Granny was very beautiful with the prettiest dark blue eyes and a friendly warm smile. She liked to laugh alot and play games with me. My favorite was when she'd be standing in the kitchen talking on the phone and I'd roll my ball over to her with my nose, then she'd gently kick it back to me. We could roll that ball back and forth forever!
She always wore that gold pinecone on a chain around her neck. It reminded her of Hilton Head and all the pine trees there.
Here's a picture I took of Mom and Granny at the beach. They claim the ocean makes their butts look big, but I think it's a nice photo.
Here we are playing together on the porch. Granny would have been a swell soccer player!
And this is my favorite photo of us, just walking down on the beach on a sunny warm January day.
I'll keep looking for your footprints in the sand, Granny. We miss you and we love you always.

We remember that day when you lost your grammy -- and it doesn't seem as though a whole year has gone by.
The photos are so lovely; the thoughts they evoke so bitter sweet.

What a sweet way to remember your Granny! That is a great pic of your Mom with her. Our Mom wishes she had more photos of herself and her brother with their mom and dad.

Hi Uncle Petey
What a beautiful Granny you had - thanks for showing us those photos. Gail says we must treasure our Grannies if they are still with us, as you did. Grannies are a soft touch for special treats I hear, so I am looking forward to meeting mine, but Gail says I have to learn my manners before I can visit.
Toodle pip,
Berite.
Look at the lovely smile your Grandma had. Just like your mom's. You are so lucky to have had such a great Granny in your life. Give a big hug to your mom.
