This is one of the pictures I have on the fireplace mantel along with one of my willow tree figures. This is another random shot taken with my iPhone, and then I messed with the contrast and highlights to make it look a little different. The picture is of my mom's mom and dad. They're the only grandparents I ever really got to know, because my dad's dad died before my mom even met him, and my dad's mom died when I was really little. I have pictures with her but I really don't remember much of her. I miss my [maternal] grandparents so much. My granddad died the summer I graduated high school and was burried on my 18th birthday. They were both very special to me but after I graduated high school I pretty much moved in with my granny to help keep her company in a way since my granddad was gone. We were so much alike...we both had to have the last word, so we butted heads a lot, but I feel we were closer because of that. She passed away in 2009 and I still find myself picking up the phone to call her and tell her about my day or ask her if she's watching letterman (that was our show)! I know I'm where I'm at for a reason, but it really sucks being so far away from my family. I've always been really close with my family (most of them) and I feel like I'm missing out on important memories since I'm so far away.
