Grandma Vasquez

My beautiful Grandma Vasquez passed away on May 19th. She was an awesome lady. She had been suffering for a long time with her health so I'm glad she is no longer suffering.

I remember so many things about my Grandma that make me miss her so much. Her laugh, her awesome food (especially the tamales!), her stories. here are some memories I have of her....

About a year or so ago she was over at my parents house and she told us so many stories about her life. She moved about 15-20 times. Crazy.

When I was in high school I had the chance to go to Europe. It was a once in a lifetime kind of trip and I was determined to go. My grandma and I made tamales to sell to friends, and at a garage sale. At the garage sale, my grandma told EVERYONE that I was trying to go on a trip. She got them all to fork over money for me. Shes a smooth talker :)

Garage sales..... she loved garage sales! One time my family took her to Longview for one of the biggest garage sales. Its a whole neighborhood, about 15-20 blocks. She was in heaven! She could talk the price down on anything.

She is so talented! She just recently made me a quilt right before she passed. It was the last time i saw her.  It is beautiful. I will cherish it forever. It was hard when I got the news. The week before she was told she had six months to live. Well she didn't last that long. She had been over in Spokane to be close to her doctors so i didn't get to see her that much. When she gave me the blanket. I gave her a big hug and told her I loved her. I didn't know that was the last time i'd see her. I'm so grateful that I saw her.

Im so grateful that she is at peace. It was a hard week for me but Spencer was there for me. The girls were awesome too. Harper would see that I was sad and came up to me. She crawled up on my lap, asked "okay mommy? you okay?" and give me kisses and cuddle.  Adyson told me one day "its ok that you miss her mommy, but you can look at pictures of her and be happy again." I have a pretty sweet family.

I miss you Grandma. SO MUCH! I know you are happy now and that I will see you again.I Love you!
