-close connections-

there are several people who i have close connections with and for this blog it was hard to chose just one. ultimately i decided to go with my Grandma Marie. although my Grandma died when i was in sixth grade she left me with so many great memories.
my Grandma was always someone who stood up for me when my parents were ready to kill me. she encouraged me to do what i wanted to do, and egged me on at times. we had a house in Vermont when i was little and i would always go with my Grandparents, the times we had their were unforgettable. my Grandma always use to tell us "girls life's an adventure". whenever we were with her it was a new adventure every time. she taught me to be a good person to everyone and to be thankful for what i have around me. she, too helped me to decide what i wanted to become after college. although i never got to tell her that i decided to become a nurse she knows. she taught me to have patience and be a caring person. these attribute to becoming a great nurse. so that's how i decided what i would do with my life.
i will never forget the amazing times i had with my Grandma. i miss her terribly, but i can look back and laugh at all the amazing memories i have. i was very fortunate to have someone so close to me to laugh through the tears, and enjoy life. she taught me all of life's great lessons and more. i am forever grateful for the time i got to spend with her.
