It's Grandparents Day & since my maternal grandparents have long gone to glory, I'll use this media to express my appreciation for them.
If you've ever paid attention to anything I've ever said, you know who Muda & Papa are. My {biological} Grandfather (Muda's 3rd husband) died when my mother was 5. Papa was Muda's 4th husband.
Muda is the person mostly responsible for me being who I am today. My Grandfather is, of course, partly responsible for my mere existence, but Papa was the influential father figure in my life.
Now that I'm grown and have major appreciation for what they did for me, I know they were heaven sent & owe all that I am to them!
On another note, I never knew my paternal grandfather. I think he died before I was born. I only recall seeing my paternal grandmother twice & I never really knew her. Sad to say, she's also dead but there was no loss to me (another blog for another day).
In closing,
ReplyDeleteglitter-graphics.comTo all of the Grannies, Papas, MeeMaws, NaNas young, old and no longer with us.
Thanks Moni..again. *smiles
When we would get to acting crazy & [trying] to defy him or even begging for $$, my Grandpa would say, "Y'all gon' miss me when I'm gone." He died in 1991 and sometimes I can still hear him say that. Trust & believe, he ain't never lied.
