*****It is with a heavy heart that I must say, I was informed this morning 8/11/23 of the passing of Miss Mamie. Forever in my heart. Sleep peacefully among the angels.)*****
This beautiful lady is Mamie. She has been in my life for 30 yrs now, very dear to my heart. On this long awaited visit, I listened, she talked. Mamie is surviving leukemia, she is as strong as ever, in mind, in body, in her faith.
Everything on this table surrounding her dinner, is a part of her daily life. The sticky notes are holding memories that she is writing, with the pens that sit in the cup. Those memories, she hopes, her family will read one day. Her favorite food, chicken and veggies, she enjoys as she chats away.
The plastic forks, box of 48, I had to look at those and a really big box that had at least 500 more plastic forks. She wants to make sure, there are enough for every visitor.
We recorded a video, cherished memories of her life. An early memory, when she was 5 yrs old, she would see her grandpa with the hunting dogs, foxhounds, just like my dog that came along for the visit.
She talked about food and cooking, she showed me her seasonings, about 80 little bottles of seasoning. She talked very little about her treatment. Life is good. Miss Mamie, is happy and she sits here, at this dining table daily, with the sun on her shoulders. The conversation is profound and enlightening.
Miss Mamie dedicated her life to giving. Her home was everybody's refuge when they had nowhere to go. She had advice, food and wisdom to share.
She was the very best grandma to my children. Her memory will live on, she touched many.
Her last words to me, were "I love you, Liz". She passed away a few weeks later.
