On yesterday, I had the chance to spend time with my granny. It was actually my late grandfather's birthday and she was in one of the reminiscing stages. Being that I'm the only grandson, my grandfather and I were very close. My grandmother always tells me that " Lil Fred, you look just like your grandfather." We sat and talk about the good-times and how he use to make us laugh.
I looked into my grandmother's eyes on yesterday and I could see that she really misses him. I decided to stay with her on yesterday and i ended up falling asleep. I woke up early this morning, and she had breakfast waiting for me. I let her know that i miss the days of staying with them and waking up to her making me breakfast. I spend a lot of time with my grandmother but yesterday was a day she needed me.
My family has embedded in me the importance of family from when i was a youth. I know that I can't always be there but I try my best to always be there. I encourage you all to continue to love and support each other. You never know when the day will come and you will have to say your final goodbye. I can remember leaving my mother's mom for the final time. I told her that I will see her on tomorrow and tomorrow never came.
My parting words will be love each other as if its your last day of being together. For the ones who have grandparents left, tell them that you love them and try your best to be there.

My grandmother died in 1996, and I miss her every day. Enjoy yours for as long as you can.
