My grandma Sheila was one of a kind and will never be replaced. I lived in Minnesota her entire life so I didn't get to see her as much as I would've liked, but our once or twice a year visits were always memorable and I cherished them. I'm grateful for technology as we were able to FaceTime once she had an iPhone/iPad. Our visits included teaching her how to use the features on her phone and how to save photos. I think, in the end, she had it figured out (for the most part). Visits to her apartment in North Shore Towers were magical to me as a kid. Being in the "big city" was so exciting for a girl from the suburbs of MN. She always planned a night out to the city for a fancy dinner and a Broadway show. Those are some of my best memories. I remember asking her for a pop one afternoon and she handed me a popsicle. We both had a good laugh. Little did I know that "pop" was NOT the correct term for Coke on the East Coast. Soon after, I began calling it "soda" and then people in my hometown looked at me strangely. Visits to West Palm Beach were equally as great. Grandma's house always felt like a home to me and I always felt so loved when her face lit up as we spotted each other across the airport (back when you were allowed through security without a ticket!) Her hugs were genuinely gushing with love. She would whisper "I love you" as she squeezed tight. She was the best hugger. Shopping was a must on every trip. I've always LOVED to shop but shopping with my grandma Sheila was next level. She had the best taste and always gave me the best advice. I'll never forget the time we were in The Gap at City Place years ago. I picked up a folded t-shirt and set it back down on the table. Grandma yelped and told me to ALWAYS fold the clothing back up neatly. She then proceeded to tidy up the entire table. I think of her every time I shop and I always re-fold the clothing I touch. She certainly learned great shopping etiquette during her years working for Saks. I could go on and on with the great memories we shared. I am so grateful for the 36 years we had together, that she spent quality time with my son, Jaxon, and that our baby Remy got to see her face and hear her voice over FaceTime. I only wish we had more time. I'll miss you forever, Grandma. Until we meet again...
