<*c>What is a Grandma?
A grandma is warm hugs
and sweet memories.
She remembers all of your accomplishments
and forgets all of your mistakes.
She is someone you can tell your secrets and worries to,
and she hopes and prays
that all your dreams come true.
She always loves you,
no matter what.
She can see past temper tantrums
and bad moods,
and makes it clear that they
don’t affect how precious
you are to her.
She is an encouraging word and a tender touch.
She is full of proud smiles.
She is the one person in the world
who loves you with all her heart,
who remembers the child you were
and cherishes the person
you’ve become.
—Barbara Cage
We love you, Grandma Maxine!
