Feb 1, 1922 - Aug 6, 2008
I wanted to take a quick minute and write. Earlier this week Stephen's Grandma Wilkie passed away. It's been kind of lonely here the past few days. Stephen is out in Michigan right now visiting his family with the viewing tonight and the funeral tomorrow and how I wish I could be with them. This was the only picture that we have of her, that I could find. We took it the first time I met them, the Christmas before we got married in 2006. They've been in a rest home the past little while. And even though I was only able to met them just a handful of times since we got married, I've cherished every moment thinking this might be the last. I was so excited to inherit grandparents when Stephen and I got married. My Grandma Dent was the only grandparent I really knew growing up and she died when I was 10 years old. Although I never new Grandma Wilkie in her prime, I heard many wonderful stories. Stephen grew up in the same city and was very close to his grandparents. They would always taking him hiking and he grew to love the outdoors and his grandma's hobby of bird watching. To this day I'm always so amazed at how he can pick out and name almost every bird we see. She also loved to garden and had such beautiful flower gardens around her house. What a wonderful lady she was and how grateful I am that I got to know her for this short time.
