How do you thank someone for ever single thing they have ever done?

I've been pondering this very question. A lot lately. How do I thank someone for things they may not even know they did? I hope she knows.

I hope she knows that I love my hazel eyes because they have always reminded me of her. Ever since I was little I have thought I got my eyes from her.

I hope she knows that when I struggle with certain situations, I pray to God to help me be more like her. I actually say, "Please God, help me be more like Maw Maw B".

She speaks about her hands and how old they look - I look at my own and see they are the same as hers, and I am thankful.

I want her to know that I am thankful for all the times she may have fussed at me to do the "right" things in life....even though an eye may have rolled....I am thankful.

The memories. I'll never let them go.

I remember on Shelley Street when she still lived in the big house and I lived next door. She had a wooden swing hanging under her back patio. I would crawl into her arms and she would sing to me.....Swing high...swing low....sweet chariot.....I can see us swinging back and forth, the wind on my face and her sweet voice in my ears. I hope she remembers that.

I remember the kids and I running through Nannie's house trying to get away from her because she was trying to get us with a flyswatter - a used flyswatter. We had done something to deserve bug guts on us. Haha! I remember us jumping into Nannie's bed and trying to get under the comforter so she couldn't get us.

I would do anything to have her chase me with that flyswatter right now.

Do you grasp how beautiful she is? Inside and Out. It's a beauty that I've never seen before in my life....and to think she helped to mold mine. I feel like a fool to think I have it bad....I've had hands on experience with an angel my entire life.

I hope she knows this.
