In late December my Grandma passed away after complications from surgery. She was someone that I looked up too very much and I will always strive to be like her. When I pass - if I am even half the woman she was, I will die happy. She was the type of woman that was very strong, stood true to her word, and family was the most important thing to her.
There isnt a day that goes by that I dont think about her and that I dont miss her. At her funeral me and my cousin Taylor decided we would sing because Grandma was inspired by music and it was something she lived by. I cant even begin to describe to you how nervous I was - I am the type of person that sings in the shower and on the top of my lungs when I am in my car but as for singing in front of an audience that was something that always scared me, but was something that I wanted to do for Grandma. We got up there and sang "Let It Be" by The Beatles and I dont think I could feel any better about how we preformed. I know grandma was standing there smiling!
About a month or so after Grandmas passing me and Taylor decided we wanted to get a tattoo of grandma in something to remember her by....we sat there and thought and thought and thought about something we would want to get but we couldnt agree on anything. Then one day I called Taylor and asked her what she thought about getting just the word "Family" written across our wrists and finally that was something we agreed on. In the end I feel like it worked out even better then expected because now we both have something that represents our whole family as one rather then just one person. We also felt that if we got something just for grandma we would need to get something for everyone else that passes away and quite frankly I dont want that many tattoos haha. So sure enough we both got family written across our wrists and symbols underneath that that mean family aswell.
