So November was not such a great month, at all. I lost a cousin and my great-grandmother just weeks apart. A day doesn’t go by when I don’t think about them. They’re always on my mind. When I think of my cousin I think of all the dumb games we played when we were kids. I remember me and Laine & Beck hiding from him and then squealing when he caught up with us. I remember the family reunions and the sunday lunches and holidays. And, I remember the day I heard the news. I couldn’t believe, wouldn’t believe it. I talked to Laine about it and we remembered him together. And I know its strange to say a funeral was amazing, but it was. He was loved by sooo many people, he STILL is. And missed terribly. =[ But, our family has the assurance that we WILL see him again someday.

My great-grandmother, is someone I’ve been around nearly my whole life. She was the only one who could stop my crying when I was a baby. We lived over her, kind of in an apartment. She had so many neat things in her house, (and I always wished the fruit on her table was real). I called her Big-Grandma, dont ask me why because I dont know, but thats what I call her. I remember on a birthday (cant remember which one) she gave me a necklace. A beautiful gold necklace that I still have, it was an apple. I’ve already decided that whenever I get married that’s the necklace I’ll wear. I miss her a lot and I know I’ll see her again someday too!!! That’s a huge comfort, just knowing that I’ll see them both again.

I love them both so much, always will.
