Sentimental

I'm feeling sentimental tonight. Bear with me. You may skip this post if you're not the sentimental type...
With all the talk of Christmas, just being around the corner. I find myself missing the people I've lost. I would give anything to give any of my grandparents one more hug, to hear their voices again. To share life with them and stories. To listen to my Grandma M reading to me, spend afternoons with her sewing and playing scrabble. To pull up the driveway of the farm and see my Grandma L's tiny face peering out the window at us, spending the day in the garden and chasing kittens behind the house. To lay on the old shaggy brown carpet in front of the TV watching Hockey with my Grandpa L, I loved the way he laughed from deep down inside his chest. To see my Grandpa M's face light up when we walked in the door of the old house, he always had hugs and smiles for us.I would give anything..  I miss them. Especially at this time of year. Going home to Saskatoon in the winter time to see them, those long cold family road trips. I loved it all.

Who do you think of or miss?
Is there someone you wish were still around?

Speaking of Christmas. I've started the long and tedious task of making Christmas presents. Dun dun dun.
The next 6 weeks are going to be busy. Painting until I can't anymore.
I'll post what I can along the way or at least the many chaotic and beautiful messes I'll make in the meantime.

Much Love,
Erin
