Elizabeth Dudek, my hero.

[My darling Grandmother]
I can't imagine what my life would be like without my grandma. She is the kindest most amazing women I have ever met. I know all kids love their grandma, but the relationship I have with mine far exceeds the norm. My whole life some of my favorite memories are being picked up by my grandparents, and singing songs with my grandma the whole ride from my house to hers. When I was really little she would climb in the back seat with me and Amanda, while my grandpa sat alone in the front. We had a select few songs that we would sing every time. I'm sure that my grandpa secretly hated those songs, ha ha. Somehow I always knew when we were getting close to home. When that time came I would stand in the middle of the seats, and ask my grandma if I would "see the world". That is one of my fondest memories. I'm sure my parents would have something to say about the pounds and pounds of bubble gum we used to get (even when we were not supposed to, it always ended up in Amanda's hair or the carpet). I also remember every week, walking to the dollar store. We were allowed to pick something out every single week. Ever since I can remember we not only got presents on our birthday, but also on the others. "Happy Birthday, on Amanda's Birthday" or visa versa. How many kids can say they have that?! I can't deny that we were absolutely spoiled rotten by my Dad's parents. They would always tell me, "we've waited a long time, and said to many prayers for you to come, to not spoil you like you deserve." My grandma has lives in Hazel Park, Michigan for around 60 years. She is everybody's "grandma" down there. I don't think there is one person who has lives on her block, whose life she hasn't touched. I have become the women I am today, because of Elizabeth Dudek. Not many people can say their grandmother is their best friend, I fortunately can.  What a blessing this women has been on my life, and millions of others. 
So, to my darling Grandma Betty:
 You will never know how much I love you, and admire you. You taught me how to love, and to love everyone. You have shown me the greatest example of kindness anyone ever could. You have taught me. You have helped me grow. I only hope and pray that one day I can be one of the Lords choice women, as I firmly trust and believe you are. I miss you, and I can't wait to see you when I come home!

Almost a year ago I think!
