To Birth and Death.
Today is my best friend's birthday! Elise Raycel Osorio turned 21 years old!! Sooo KRAY! but exciting. I'm so grateful that Elise was born when she was so that I could meet her 18 years later and we could become instant bffs :] But seriously. This girl is AMAZING! I learn from her everyday and I'm so blessed to have her in my life. She is one of the most caring people I know. She loves me, even though I legitimately act like a crazy person for probably 50% of my life. [That number might be a little low.] But anyway, you get the point. She's great! and I'm so glad Heavenly Father saw it fit to put us in eachothers paths a couple summers ago.
I LOVE YOU!!
And on another note, My grandma [mom's mom] passed away in Hawaii this morning. I love her sooo much! She was always such a great example of love to me. And, instead of writing about grandma myself, I'll borrow something Mele wrote, because I could not put it any better, even if I tried.
"In honor of my beloved Grandma, who went to her eternal home today. I will miss her so much. She lived through the Great Depression, and was always frugal as a result. She liked to save things that were given to her as gifts, "for the new house", instead of using them. She lived above Pearl Harbor on December 7th, 1941, when the bombs fell. She saw the whole thing. She met my Grandpa when he was serving in Hawaii as part or the US Navy in WWII. Some folks discouraged their marriage because he is caucasian and she is Hawaiian/Chinese. But in an act of faith, they married anyway in the Hawaii temple, with only her mother and very few others there to witness the event.
Grandma loved to play the organ, especially Bach, and she also loved to play the piano and sing. She and my Grandpa taught their children to love music, and my mom has passed that love of music on to me.
I always knew Grandma was a woman of profound and deep faith. I was always very humbled and touched to hear her pray. As a child, I always knew if it was Grandma's turn to pray, we were going to be there for a while...and I didn't learn to appreciate how detailed and specific her prayers were, for each family member, until I was a little older. She loved her family with all her heart, and she loved Heavenly Father with all her heart.
She was always quite trim, but would eat about three bites of her dinner and say (in all sincerity!) that it was delicious, she ate too much, and we would have to 'roll her home'...implying that she was too round to walk...which we all knew was utterly ridiculous!
She loved to serve, and after such a dinner when she was supposedly too full, she would quite literally shove you out of the way so that she could do the dinner dishes. The only times I have gotten into a pushing match over who got to do the dishes, was with Grandma! She wore yellow rubber gloves to protect her hands when she did the dishes, because she would make the water SO hot! Sometimes it was fun for my dad and us kids to hide Grandma's rubber gloves, so that way we could win the "who gets to do the dishes" battle.
I always knew I held a special place in Grandma's heart because I was the first-born grandchild, and because I am so fair-skinned, which she thought was beautiful. She would touch my arm, and say, "One day, the Lord PROMISED me, I will be 'white and delightsome'!" I would roll my eyes, because I had seen pictures of her as a young woman, and she was such a babe! So gorgeous!
She had a charming sense of humor, even if it was self-deprecating, like when she would joke, "I could get lost in a bathtub!" Her sense of direction wasn't great, and I seem to have inherited that trait as well! :-)
She took time to talk with me, ask questions, and find out what was going on in my life. She believed in me and that I could accomplish all my goals.
I love her, I love this remarkable woman who has helped shape me. I am so honored to come from such a noble heritage. I can't wait to see her and hug her again! ♥
Love you Grandma!"
And. I would just like to add that I'll miss watching her butter her individual cereal pieces. And I loved watching Grandma and Grandpa interact. They clearly love each other sooo much. And I want what they have in their marriage.
I love you grandma. Can't wait to see you again :]
