cause i can

So, since this is my blog about random things, i have a random thought for you.

i love my family. like forreal. my family is awesome! and i love all of my family, so very much... but this particular thought is about my grandma margert.

growing up, I can remember spending the night at her house. I LOVED spending the night at grandma's house, because we got bedtime snacks. now, when i was little i called the bed-night snacks. but we always got to have a snack around 10. which was WAYYYY past my bedtime. i always would request a chocolate milk shake. which was hand made of course. Grandma would have vanilla ice cream, add some milk, and ALOT of chocolate syrup, and stir until all the ice cream was smooth, and milky.

So, as i just stood in my kitchen making me some chocolate milk (the legit kind with chocolate syrup, not Nesquick, which is grosssss!!!) i had an overwelming urge to call up my fabulous grandmother and tell her i love her. but since it is now 12:26 in the morning, i will wait.

moral of the story, if you don't have a grandma like mine, you are missin out!

Novemember 11th.

i never realized how much i loved the small things in my life.

every year on novemeber 11th i always either called my grandfather or went to his house to see him, just to thank him for his service to our country.

Today, i got ready to pick up the phone to call him, but realized he wouldn't answer.

I guess one thing of deal with death is getting used to not doing the things you used to do all the time.

Both of my grandfathers served in the Navy. One died before i was born, but the other died in August. This is the first time i have really realized that he isn't here.
