She was always there. 1 call away. I called her when I started living at my dad's house for that bit and tell her to come get me and I could stay with her and go to school the next day. We'll after the 3rd day, dad called mad that she hadn't took me to school....she let me stay home with her those few days to vent and talk. She settled dad down and all was well lol

The day Mickey the horse died. I was so young but remember her crying sitting on the toilet with the lid closed. I sat down by her feet and asked her about death and she told me about heaven. I told her that she could not to go to heaven for a really long time. She kept that promise ❤️

Gg was the best grandma ever she was so funny, so kind, and soooooo cool. People definitely looked up to her. Including me, she was so thoughtful and thankful. She babysitted me almost every day, and I always had the best time with her. I remember one time I and gg were at a party and we danced together . miss her so much 💔. If I could bring anybody in the world back , it would be her. I remember another time when we were all at a cookout, the whole family and grandpa made gg mad and she cussed him out. We were all laughing.
