This week, I've gotten a new perspective for almost every person I know. I don't even know what's changed. It may be the fact that I've gained more respect than I already had for them, but I've figured out that everyone has their own story. And while it may not be as amazing to some people, it's amazing to me. And the person with the best story, to me, is my granny's. I don't care what anyone says, she's the most wonderful lady I've ever met.
They say beauty is in the eyes of the beholder & let me tell yah, she is the most beautiful lady around town!
Granny,
You're the apple of my eye. You're one of my best friends. You make me laugh at any given second. You're perhaps the strongest lady I've ever met. You've battled cancer, a heart attack, harmful falls, quit smoking cigarettes and still managed to beat it all. You're determined, still getting on your lawn mower every day in the summer. And also very entertaining. I mean, most people don't tell ever telemarketer who calls to go to hell. It's what I love about you. You don't take crap from anyone. You stand up for yourself even if everyone is trying to bring you down.
You've also shown me true love. I remember last year, Papaw came up behind you while you were playing Solitaire. He started nibbling on your ear & you giggle like you were still teenagers. Most people might find it sort of nasty, seeing as how Papaw has a wonderful toothless smile. But to me, well it was possibly the cutest thing I've ever seen. You told me about how you loved it when he nibbled one you. That's what true love looks like to me. Being older and still finding ways to show your affection, calling each other names but thinking nothing of it, letting your spouse fix things that aren't even broken just because they feel like the need to prove their self, and giving them a high five once they've "fixed" it. And when you giggle like you're young again & laugh at each others mistakes. It's just what it's all about to me. You guys are what I want to be when I grow up. My inspiration.
Granny, you're my best friend. My hero. And the best lady I'll ever know. And I wish I came to see you more often. No worries, I'm coming up there a lot more often to get in shape and have some bonding. Just keep strong. Because you're amazing. And I know you can do whatever you set your mind to. I've got tons of faith in you. i love you. <3
This isn't my granny and papaw, but it's sort of what they remind me of(:
