![]() On the way there, my mom said most days she leaves feeling sad because my Gram just isn’t the same and doesn’t remember much. I don’t get to see her as often as I like, but my momma and I went last Friday to see her. My Gram Lois Liddick is the only grandparent I have left, but she is in an assisted living home. ![]() We were crazy together, and that list of things would be a mile long. Can I say that she had the best hugs!? She taught me to make eggs, play rummy, bought me fake nails, and would listen to Christmas music in the heat of summer with me. We did so much together and had such a close relationship. ![]() I lost one of my best friends - my grammy Margaret Perry - when I was in my mid-twenties. I had wonderful men in my life who would do anything for me and had high standards for my future husband as a young adult. It is so important for girls and young women to grow up and know how a man should treat a woman. I not only had a dad, Lee Perry, who loved me, taught me all kinds of things, and was someone I looked up to my whole life, but I also had two paps who did the same. Dwain Perry and Floyd Liddick were two outstanding men. It makes me sad both of my grandfathers are gone. ![]() I love sharing past memories and how good my childhood was. If it wasn’t for my family, I don’t think I would be the writer I am. ![]() My grandparents always seem to be the highlight in a lot of these. I hear all the time how you love hearing stories about my family. I know many of you love the family part of my writing. ![]()
