My Grandmother, My Hero.

On Christmas day, one of the most talented women I know passed away in her beautiful room at Hospice - my Grandmother. She is the women who is responsible for my career. If it were not for her infinite talent, I wouldn't have a company today. She never taught me how to sew, but she passed down to me her love of sewing that guided me through some of the hardest times of my life. I really, REALLY wish she hadn't suffered, and hadn't left us, but it was her favorite time of year, and she at least found peace on Christmas day. For that, I am grateful. She was witty, funny, adorable, and gifted. She had a sharp mind, and a great sense of humor. She made all of her house dresses, and all of her children's clothing, and wedding dresses. Anytime I would show her something from a new collection of mine, or an order from a customer, she would joke "Lori, where did you get that talent?? I wonder where you got it from", and we would laugh. It never got old. I will miss her so very much, and I don't even want to think about a life without her. She was the most caring, wonderful, and devoted woman in my life, aside from my own mother, and I hope to grow old just as gracefully as she did. At 86, she lived a full life with 5 children, 5 grandkids, and a great grandchild.

I know that when she left us, she joined my grandfather on the dancefloor somewhere much better than earth. And I'm sure she looked beautiful.
