I got to take my grandmother's table that she got from her mother and father for her wedding. they were married toward the end of 1941 just before Pearl Harbor was bombed and I love it so much! it needs new chairs but it has 3 little leaves to add to it so it can grow with our family and I'm very sentimental and I love wiping it down and thinking of how my dad grew up eating and playing ping pong on this table:) I'm sure there were hundreds of lazy house wife pickles that were served on this table, plenty of card games, and I know there were even some arguments among the table.
I miss my grandma so much and cherish all that she has left me, especially the non tangible things such as the stories of my pioneer heritage and the love, kisses, warmth, and smiles she always gave me.
When Dean and I went to the temple this last saturday there was an elderly woman in front of us and I just teared up because I want so badly to sit next to her and listen to her talk. I'm so grateful that there is the plan of happiness and I know that I will see her again, thank goodness for that or I would be a wreck.
