My grandma was the greatest. I have the best memories of sleeping over and in the morning she would cook breakfast. Usually eggs and always some blueberries with sugar on top. We would sit in the kitchen and watch cartoons. Usually the Rugrats because it was her favorite. She would always make the biggest and best meals for the holidays and if you stayed over you were bound to run into one of the other cousins raiding the fridge in the middle of the night for leftovers. She cares about her community and after teaching for decades was a steadfast volunteer for multiple organizations. She was so full of love you couldn’t help but be happy when you were with her. I miss her so much already but the wonderful memories she gave me growing up still fill me with her warmth and love. We’ll miss you Bubbe.
