Remembrance for my Grandma

I really love Linda Rief's book Quickwrites. I realized yesterday that I have no living grandparents. My grandmother died two years ago. Not sure why it took two years for me to realize that I have no grandparents around. So when I saw this quickwrite, I knew I'd need to use it for my inspiration today. 

Remembrance for My Grandmother

Ann Norine Hildreth 1927-2020

I remember...we collected prayers

and made up stories and built

embarrassing memories and arranged

the extra chairs when company came

and set out special pickle dishes and read

out of the old Childcraft volumes

and played Trivia Pursuit and watched Jeopardy 

and talked about the Reader's Digest and

ate drumsticks on the front porch and

the last time I saw her, I told her I loved her

and even though she couldn't talk, 

I know she heard me.

Reflection: I loved writing like this! I write about my grandma often, but this made me think of even more memories and new ways to write about her! I encourage anyone to try it!
