Grandma Updates

Nov 20 , 2003

Grandma,
Some times I miss you so much that I feel like my whole world is crashing down. I am having such a hard time not having you here. Last year when I spent Thanksgiving with Ed’s family, I figured that this year I would bring him by Uncle Tonzi’s. I thought that because Ed had just lost his father it was important to be with his family. Who the hell knew I would lose you and Uncle Tonzi 6 weeks apart and POOF no more famous Thanksgivings?

I know, I can hear you, I know I did the right thing last year, but I’m hurting so bad. Ed will never know what it was like every year. So I’m left here trying like mad to make our own traditions. I invited his whole family here, and I’m sure you know what’s going on. I don’t understand why his Grandma has to be like that. I want you! You would never do this to me. Why on earth and I left with his Grandma and not you? I just wanted to be nice and invite them all, I can’t believe they all won’t come. At least I’ll have Ed’s mom, brothers and sister and my mom together. I don’t even know how to cook for that small number of people!

Ok anyway, so far I have on my menu, a Turkey, a Ham, sweet potatoes, stuffing, cranberries and your string beans. They don’t have Thanksgivings like we did, so I’m sure they will freak when they have a Ham and Turkey. But hey, I’m your granddaughter I have to do it right! They don’t even have an antipasto, pasta or any other appetizers. I have to break them in slowly. I am still going to do all that, I just don’t know how much and what to make. Even the desserts I’m not sure about. If I put out 5 different types that’s almost one whole dessert per person! I think I’m going to put them into shock. Oh and I promise I’ll take a picture of the food like you did every year. I never understood that either, but I’m gonna do it this year.


   

Aunt Bev is still having Thanksgiving from what I hear. I saw her at Uncle Rocky’s Funeral last week. Matt and I are going to send her flowers or something for Thanksgiving, I’m sure it’s going to be hard for her this year without Uncle Tonzi and you there.

I’ve been seeing Vinnie and Chris a lot more. I’m sure you’re happy about that. And did you get the memo on what I’m going to ask them? I can’t wait to ask them, but Amy said I have to do something special and I’m not sure how or what yet, so I haven’t asked. I really like Chris’s new girlfriend. She’s so sweet! You would have really liked her a lot.

It seems I’m one of the few who go to the cemetery all the time. I never understood why you went, I always hated going there and didn’t see the point. Now if I don’t get there I get worried that your little garden doesn’t look right or the flowers I bought you need more water. I swear that if your name isn’t on the head stone soon I am going to SCREAM and wake you up! It’s almost 4 months and it’s not there. That’s so wrong.

Anyway I have to get back to work now. I just miss you a lot. The dreams I’ve been having of you are driving me crazy! Why on earth you were Lucille Ball I’ll never understand. I get the other ones, but that one takes the cake.

I really miss you Grandma. I love you with all my heart
