Today is a special day at our house. It's not necessarily a day of partying and celebration, but a time of remembrance. David and I both lost a grandparent on the 25th day of September. David lost his grandpa, Norman Roberts, 16 years ago and I lost my grandma, Hedvig Reeder, just two years ago. Last year, we decided that since this was a significant day for both of us, that we would designate it a day in remembrance of all our grandparents - Heritage Day!
We share memories and make G.G.'s famous applesauce cookies - with only 5 chocolate chips. Any more would just be gluttonous!! She definitely knew how to stretch a dollar and make do! Something I have always admired and strive to emulate.
It's been a nice day. Even though bittersweet, we are both grateful for our heritage and hope that our lives will honor those that have gone before us!
You did them proud.... Love you!
