I said goodbye to Peaches this year
My dad's mom named herself Peaches when Kelsey was born. We had a lot of grandparents and great-grandparents around and not everyone could be "grandma". It fit her perfectly. We last saw her the summer of 2009 and she told me "flat out" she would not be there the next summer. She missed her life long love, Boppie. She was ready to be with him. She left us in March of 2010.
She's been a wonderful addition to my life and I feel so blessed to have known her, to have shared so many moments together. She loved to laugh, she LOVED family. She loved babies and would sit and hold one for hours if they'd let her. She loved hearing new "technology" and was amazed by changes in our world. She welcomed learning. She was the most kind, loving, peaceful person I have ever known.
Sometimes I feel selfish and miss her. I think about often...used to call her frequently. So I just talk to her instead. I know she hears me. She used to talk to Boppie, and said that folks thought she was crazy. I didn't. I knew he was listening. Just like I know she's listening to me. Love you Peaches.
