Today would have been my mother-in-law, Sue's, 75th birthday. She is sorely missed by everyone who knew her.
One of the things I miss most about Sue is her smile. She had a smile on her face quicker than just about anyone I know.
I also miss her craftiness. Not being sly, being crafty!! She had a great sense of style and she loved to paint things and make things. I remember the first family tree she painted on her wall in the country. I had never thought of a family tree as a tree painted on the wall with pictures hanging on the limbs, but I will never think of the term family tree with out picturing that painting.
Sue LOVED her grandkids. I know that all grandma's love their grandkids, but Sue took it to a new level. She bragged about them and talked about them all the time. Her grandkids loved her right back. Some of our girls' favorite memories of their childhood was the times they spent with Grandma Sue & Papa in the summers. I am so very glad we let them have those opportunities every year.
Now that Sue is gone from us, we can't share our everyday thoughts with her, but I am sure she has convinced God that she should have a ring-side seat to watch over her family!
Happy Birthday Sue. We love you!!!
I miss her tons every day. It's hard to believe she's been gone 6 months.
