.... Remember When ....

I remember calling Muh every time I made it home safely....even though I lived across the street!

She remembers eating bread with butter on it....not toasted!

He remembers Muh bringing him to God!

I remember sitting under the piano quietly during a thunder/lightning storm!

She remembers Muh saying, "Be submissive to your husband"!

He remembers Muh was a woman of few words but when she spoke she used wise words & a kind tongue!

I remember Muh mixing leftover bars of soap together when they became too small to use separately!

She remembers Muh playing the piano & requesting old hymns!

He remembers continually reading scriptures until he pronounced everything correctly!

We all remember her fondness for fish & grits, orange slices and pears from her pear tree!

We all remember her love for God, church & family!

We all remember her laugh, smile and facial expressions!

We all remember the line we waited in to receive a hug from her after church!

We all remember she was blessed & grateful!

It Was The God In Her! ........Now It's the Muh In Us!

I'm Grateful "My Muh" Has Departed

Being grateful she's not suffering doesn't make coping easier it just puts the situation in perspective...

A little over 88 years ago He created Mary Louise Ashburn and 1 day ago He decided to abolish the flesh  and bones of Mary Louise Galloway. While Muh (as she was called by everyone that was graced with her presence) is physically gone she remains here through us, her family, friends and loved ones. 

I've never heard anything negative about my grandmother nor have I ever heard her speak unkind of anyone. Although her children and some grandchildren will tell you she showed no mercy when it came to discipline, they appreciated it because they knew it was out of love.We all spoiled Muh because Muh spoiled us all.  We have stories to last a lifetime and memories to match, physical characteristics and mannerisms that scream "Galloway" wherever we choose to roam. This is where the G-way clan  started but definitely not where it ends. 

Her favorite word and inspiration for one of my tattoos "Grateful", that was the answer you heard  when you asked "how she was doing"..... Everybody is thankful through the good times but it takes a special person to be grateful during troubled times....... I'm thankful she was apart of my life & I'm grateful she is now and forever more at peace... with her man ( as Della says)

Random but this has made me want a family of my own :/
