Grandma Ruth

So I just found out my Grandma-​in-​Law passed away. Ruth had bright red hair. She was a fire starter. Had an opin­ion about every­thing. She bought me my first pocket knife at a brooke­side garage sale(i dont think my mother ever found out). she loved watch­ing all the cousins romp around dur­ing thanks­giv­ing and christ­mas chaos. There was always coke, sprite, and choco­late some­thing in close proximity(not to men­tion some kind of grand meal plan). She was stub­born about ask­ing for help(like all grownups) and was a bless­ing that often­times slowed down the fam­ily com­mo­tion. My cousin Kristin told me the day before she passed..she was at the salon.. get­ting her hair done. she was a gem, and i will keep her with me (and you too)as my jour­ney continues.

    Did you know I lost my momae my last trip to India? it was the most nor­mal and unusual tran­si­tion return­ing to the states with­out her. but in some ways it’s like she never left me because i wasn’t her for her depar­ture.
    love you.
