Grandma was a legend.
With all the craziness in the world, there is a silver lining in technology. When we inevitably join grandma, newer generations will be able to easily lookup our history on social media and see many pictures and videos of us in our prime. Unfortunately, the same cannot be said about many of the family members I have never met or hardly knew like grandpa Cliff, grandma Francis, Poppy, and many others. It would be wonderful to see how they lived, who their friends were, or even their parents and the generations before them. It is so frustrating that we can't.
However, I am eternally grateful grandma Marion was around long enough for me to meet her. She was a joy to talk to, never had a bad thing to say about anyone, and her life will have an impact on me and my children until the day comes where we can sit together and I can ask all the questions I should have asked while she was here.
They just don't make them like her anymore.
