Today was my Grandma’s birthday
I have to say obviously I’m pretty bummed out today because she isn’t here to celebrate. If I am not mistaken she would have been 78 years old today. My grandmother was one of the greatest people I have ever met. I’m not just saying that because she was my grandma she was an amazing woman.
My grandmother was named Willamina after the Queen of Holland but everyone called her Billie. She was very funny not a day passed where she didn’t have me laughing about something. Usually stories about when her eight kids, yup she had eight, where little. She even made jokes about having her breast removed. When I say the movie Silence of the Lambs I told her she should date Anthony Hopkins and she said, “No way he’d bite off my other boob!”
Not a day passes where I don’t think about her. Right after she died it was usually sad thought about how much I miss her. Luckily now I’m not sad about it every day, now when I think about her I remember the good times we had together. The last few days I’ve been thinking about how much I miss her because her birthday was coming up.
However, I’ve decided I’d let myself be sad today but starting tomorrow I’ll have a new attitude. Tomorrow I’ll try to face the day with a smile and try not to stress about things too much. Oh one more reason today is such a sad day four years ago today my dog had to be put down so over all it’s a shitty day. Tomorrow will be better though I’ve promised myself.
I know how you feel because my grandma passed away very recently, and her birthday was a few days ago. It’s so hard right now. It’s nice to hear you don’t get sad every day anymore…I really don’t know if I can see that coming for me anytime soon, but it was encouraging to read. Sorry about your shitty day!
