Special time

Grandparents are something that should be cherished.  We don't have them in our lives for long.  My Grandmother was special in my life.  I spent all my extra time with her.  We walked all over to go shopping or visiting other relatives.  She didn't have much money since she was living on Social Security, so the little things she bought for me were appreciated.  I was her favorite Grandchild and I knew it.  No one else in the family lived close to her and I was always there.  I remember not having a bathtub in the house when I was a child.  Since I had a brother and sister that were older I got the bathwater last.  Not at Grandma's.  My water was always fresh.  On Sundays I went to church and by the time I got back, Grandma had a chicken dinner with homemade lemon meringue pie.  These are things I can never have again.  They are my memories.  I lost my Grandma when I was 14.  Not a day goes by that I don't think of her.  This was my special time with my Grandma.  What are your memories with your Grandparents?
