Grandma Corbin

Well I really don't have an excuse for only blogging lately when someone dies. I'm sorry about that for those of you who actually read this. Life is very full of wonderful things right now and I love it. I am so happy with where I am at today. I feel happy really most of the time.

Today my Dad's mom died. I have to say that I didn't know her as well as some of my other cousins did. She lived with a lot of my Dad's siblings but never with us. She also lived in a completely different state than we do for a long time so that made things complicated since my family doesn't travel very often. I do know that my grandma loved to play cards. Any kind of game really. If conversations ever lulled she would ask everyone if we would like to play a game. It was always fun even though she nearly always won. She was really smart.

I also know that she loved to love us. She would always want a hug when we first saw her and when we were about to leave and sometimes in between. She loved my little sister's dimples. She called her "my dimple darling." She had as way of talking to people she loved that I think she hoped would make us feel special and let us know how much she loved us.

The last time I saw my Grandma Corbin when I was leaving she told me she wanted me to keep working hard. I will try to do that Grandma! And I will think of you when it gets hard to do so. I love you.
