In honor of my grandmother, Mabel O’Niel Hollingshead, who passed away five years ago, I reposted two blogs written about her. “Everything Nice” is a recounting of our family’s first week following her death. “The Beachcombers” was written for her memorial service.
Enjoy,
M
I miss her….I always think of her on the 21st. But, lately, she’s been such a constant in my mind. Seems strange that I’m expecting again exactlly 5 years later…maybe that has something to do with it?
How did you keep your composure writing that? It’s 5 years later and I can’t hold a tear back just reading it again! I’m glad to remember the laughs too. Thanks!
