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.

A grandmother is a little girl who suddenly
shows up one day with a touch of grey in her hair.
Better than anything,
she has a way of understanding
little boys.
Especially men who are grown-up
little boys.
Something about a grandmother is always making
you hungry.
Maybe it's the apple pies baking and the chicken
frying and the biscuits in the oven.
But Grandma always has the nicest smelling
house.
Long before Band-Aids were invented, she was
the best person to take care of scraped knees and scratched elbows and
banged heads.
It was something in the way she touched you.
Grandmother was an expert on mischief, too.
Especially when you had been into it. When
she looked right into your eyes it was pretty hard to fool her about what
really happened.
Really.
And it was when you were almost too big to
sit in her lap that you began to learn that she was a very special person
to talk to.
Sometimes, she would give you the right answers
without saying a word.
