  There is an amazing woman I have known pretty much entire existence. This woman took care of me when my family was in shambles and showed me how to sew, plant a garden and make a mean meatball. And while I may not know how to put a spool of thread on a sewing machine anymore, neither of my thumbs are green I do remember making infamous meatballs in her old ranch style house across from the cow field, drinking out of my uncle Jeff's Star Wars glasses and then her yellow and green kitchen at her (in my recollection second) house.

I remember when she drove me in her blue car to the place that she raised 6 of her children and my first grandfather.

I remember sneaking into her garden with my cousin Michael and stealing carrots without her knowing lol or when we would color in her coat closet with the round brown basket of crayons. I remember her going down the slide the first time ever in her life at 50 and falling flat on her butt and getting up and laughing about it hysterically. I remember her helping Michael and I with our lemonade stand at the family garage sales and helping us make our Indian costumes out of brown paper bags so we could go dance in the driveway just because we thought the more we did it the rain would come and she made us believe it lol. I remember she wore emerald perfume for years and the softness of her hands and asking her why her hands had all those veins as she got older. I remember when she came and got me from school when I tried got super sick and when she also came to grandparents day at school and swore I had the coolest grandparent there. She sewed my patches on my girlscout uniforms for years and bought from every
