Granny Betty
Your peanut butter fudge
Your mash potatoes
You sittin' in your chair painting your nails
Watching the Food Network with you
Picking strawberries with you in the summer
Coming in your house and smelling the awful smell of cabbage
You shaking your head when one of us in the bunch did something wrong or something you didn't understand
You bandaging my knee when I scrapped it
You saying you can't stand animals, then tell me to go feed Ruger's rabbit cause the little thang like apples and bananas
You fussing at Papaw with a smile on your face
You always telling me to go to the kitchen and get something to eat cause I'm human and people like to eat
Your biscuits and gravy
Breakfast at your house with you
The easter egg hunts you would have at your house
Your laughter
Your smile
You touching and playing with my hair and telling me I have beautiful dark curly hair like you did when you were young
These are the things I miss, but what I miss the most is you.

I wrote this poem for my Granny Betty. I love her and I miss her dearly. She was one of the most wonderful strong women this world has had the grace of having.
