Spring is in the air.

This time of year always reminds me of my Grandma.  It's a bittersweet time of year.  I miss her more than ever in Spring.  My Grandma.  She signed all her cards Grandm<3m.  She was a wonderful children's story author.  She was an amazing Great-Grandma (GGM).  She had a contagious laugh.  She loved to read and sew.  She was awesome!  Most of all she loved tulips.  She grew the most colorful, monster tulips!  The Fall before she died, she was so determined to plant her tulip bulbs in my yard, little did I know that it was going to be her last time planting.  By the time Spring rolled around, she was gone and her tulips come up strong and bright all over my yard.  It made me happy to think of her and how important it was to her to plant the bulbs but it made me sad because I missed her so.  As I smell the sunshine and new growing plants in the air I can't help but whisper to the sky, "I miss you even more".
