In Memory of My Grandma Lois Wright

My Grandma Wright died today, she was 90. I will miss her, but I know she is in a better place. She is now back with my grandpa, and meeting her daughter that died at birth. What a joyous reunion they are having up in Heaven, seeing all those family members she hasn't seen for so long. I remember the teddy bear she made me. When that bear finally bit the dust, it was threadbare and very loved. I remember them coming to see us in Wyoming, and going to see them in Utah. I used to love spinning around in grandma's orange chair. I could get that chair going pretty fast until grandma caught me. It was always worth getting in trouble for, that chair was so much fun! I think I tipped it over more than once too. Other things I remember is watching Romper Room, Sesame Street, and The Electric Company in the mornings we were visiting her. My kids don't even know what Romper Room and The Electric Company were. Fun memories of fun things we used to do at Grandma's house. Except for the Ricky Tanner cassette, that was pure torture. Maybe she should have played that casette for me when I spun in the orange chair. I definately would have thought twice about that! I love you Grandma, welcome home!
