Chinese dinners at Enjoy Garden, and opening presents on Christmas Eve. Two small, unrelated examples of the sorts of times I cherished with my Gram. I am grateful for the many years I was blessed with these and other moments shared with her. And even more grateful I could introduce her to my wife and son, for whom she always had kind words. She was strong, intelligent, devoted, and giving. But to me, my grandmother embodied love most of all.
