Been feeling kinda down lately. Just havent felt good at all the last few days, but I got some uplifting yesterday when my Mawmaw and Pawpaw came to visit.
I haven't seen them in nearly 2 months and boy was I so glad to see them. Since they went to live with my Aunt and Uncle after my Pawpaw's stroke I dont get to see them as often as I use to. When they lived in Greenwood I saw them just about every other week and now not so much.
They came up Saturday afternoon bc my Mawmaw has a dr. appt today for a checkup.
Jake and Pawpaw
They came out yesterday and I cooked a ham and some fried potatos, which are my Mawmaw's favorite. We were able to visit for along time and really hated to see them leave. They are going back to the coast this afternoon after her appt.
Jake, Pawpaw and Gracie
Its really hard to see my Pawpaw like he is. I remember him as the man who could do anything and was so strong, and now seeing him in a wheelchair, and cant even stand by himself is the hardest thing of all.
Jake, Mawmaw and Gracie
And I miss my Mawmaw blueberry cobbler so much. They grew blueberries behind their house and she would pick them and freeze them and when she knew we were coming to their house to visit she would always make me a blueberry cobbler.
Mawmaw and Gracie
They were/are probably the bestest grandparents ever. I remember staying at their house every chance we got. My Mawmaw used to pick me and Eric up from my dad's work and take us and us chicken nuggets from Mc'D's or either go to Barnetts Deli and get us a sandwich(those were the best hoagies). On the weekend me and Eric used to live at their house and pretty much got away with anything at all. My Pawpaw has always called me "tugirl" dont know what that means, but now I miss hearing that. You just about cant understand him when he talks. I would give anything to hear him call me that again.
Gracie, Uncle Doug and Jake
My Uncle Doug brought them up this weekend. I love him so much too. When I was first born he had just been layedoff from the Engles shipyard in Pascagoula. He kept me just about everyday for the first 1 1/2 of my life. Talk about spoiled. Man I was. All I had to do was grunt and I got something....miss those days too (haha). They tell me that when he got called back to the shipyard and left to go back to the coast I had a hard time adjusting. He is the sweetest man ever and still works at that crazy shipyard, for nearly 30 years now.
Gracie, Jake and Other Granny
And we can't forget "other" Granny. She has been having a hard time since my cousin passed away last weekend. If I wasnt with Mawmaw and Pawpaw then I was at her house. Between Mawmaw & Pawpaw and Granny and Papa, I didnt stand a chance. I was rotten before I was born, but the love me and my kids like no other.
Absolutley the bestest Grandparents in the world.
