My Grandma Rose left for heaven more than 2 years ago. I still miss her so much!
When I was younger I used to always find rose things such as perfume, stationery, etc. to give to Grandma. I wonder if she got kind of tired of that. She would never have told me that, of course. I liked her name, though. I always thought it was pretty classy and fit her well. I liked it so much, our daughter's middle name is Rose. In fact, a LOT of Grandma Rose's descendants have her name incorporated into their own identities, including our own granddaughter. I love that. So, in honor of Grandma Rose, I am leaving you with these pretty photographs...

I miss her
Thanks for remembering Mother on this, her 97th birthday. At one time I hoped she would live to be 100, but as her health deteriorated I was just thankful for each day she was still with us and did not want her to suffer. But she always found things of interest in life: reading, the daily cryptoquote and crossword puzzle, her large and scattered family, and the political shenanigans in Washington, D.C. She could not leave the house, but was thinking about having new pear trees planted in the garden come spring. Even as her body let her down, she found things to live for, while being ready to go at any time.
I keep finding things I wish I had asked her, but now can't!
A lovely sentiment. I am sure she treasured your thoughtfulness.
Thanks for remembering Mother on her 97th b-day. We will always miss her.
