Revelation...

Isn't it funny how after a close loved one dies, you realize what a great impact they really had on your life? Like...you never realized it before, but once they are gone for good you realize how much of them is really in you?

Case in point: I knew my grandmother an my Aunt Margie had a enormous impact on my life, but I never realized until both of them were gone, just how MUCH like them I am.

My aunt loved bdays...she didn't care who's bday it was....it could have been sum strange person's bday...but she sent them a card anyway...I've always loved seeing people on the street with their bday money pinned to their shirt so much so that I even stop to give them some money if I have some.

My grandmother used to just laugh at all of the crazy things my family members did...I find myself laughing at them more often.

Etc., etc., etc....

Overall there have been a lot of times in the past few months where I haven;t been able to help smiling because I kno that they instilled in me sum very admirable attributes:)
