It's not that I will miss seeing her each day (because I've been away from her a lot these past years), I will just miss having her presence in my life and hearing her
cute greeting when I would come home to visit my parents! I always felt so loved and special when I was around my grandma.
She was always so loving to me. Any time I returned from college to visit, she made me feel like I was such a special person to her. She would hug me and just hold on for a second, as if to seal in that special moment between us forever ;)
I just hope that she knew how important she was to me. My grandma taught me and inspired me to be positive!
Although she tended to worry more than she should, she always ended up finding something to be thankful for.
I can still hear in my mind, this last year, her positive remarks about how she had no pain, despite her other challenges.
I was so inspired by her resilience and willingness to laugh and joke with our family!
Probably my favorite memory of my grandma were the several occassions my first year at Walla Walla University in 2008-2009, when she still
lived in College Place. I would sometimes come to her house to visit or eat dinner with her and she would always say "come in if your nose is clean" as she
welcomed me into her little apartment on 3rd street. She was such a sweet lady and I know that she touched so many lives.
I am so thankful for her and I especially am amazed by her because she raised my own mom who is such a perfect, kind and independent woman, herself!
I will miss Grandma Dovich but I'm extremely thankful for the times I spent with her growing up and for raising that family that she did, because my family wouldn't exist without her!!!
I just hope she knew how special she was to me, and that every moment that I was with her, I appreciated that quality time with such a special lady.
