Grilled Cheese

Today's photo made me kind of emotional.

How could a grilled cheese sandwich make me so emotional? Easily. You see, grilled cheese sandwiches made by my Auntie Barb were my all time favorite. Any time I visited her house she made them for me. I can totally envision being in her house and watching her cook these on her giant electric stove. She loved making them for me and I loved every last one she made. Well, except for one. I remember one time telling her that she made the BEST grilled cheese sandwiches. She was in the process of making one for me. She must have gotten distracted and proceeded to burn the heck out of my sandwich. Yes, the very one she was making as I told her that her's were the best ever. We laughed so hard. I guess we bonded over grilled cheese sandwiches. Auntie Barb passed away a few years ago. I don't think I have ever really grieved over her passing. Today while preparing this post and while making a layout with this photo I have been in tears. Who ever thought it would take me four years and a grilled cheese sandwich to bring out the tears. I loved her so much. She was like a second Mom to me and treated me very much like her own. We spent many happy times together, even over a grilled cheese sandwich. So, here's to Auntie Barb and the love of the BEST grilled cheese sandwich.

Here's my LO:

Who would have thought that a grilled cheese sandwich would be someone’s legacy? I often make grilled cheese sandwiches for my girls and each time I think of Auntie Barb. I remember her often making me my favorite grilled cheese sandwiches. Anytime I would visit their house she would ask me what I wanted for lunch and the answer was always the same. She made the sandwiches on her giant electric stove. One of my favorite memories was a time when I told her she made the BEST grilled cheese sandwiches and she proceeded to burn my sandwich really badly. We laughed so hard over that one. Now that she is gone I hope she knew how very much those sandwiches were appreciated. She made everyone with love because she loved me so much. She meant the world to me and I miss her very much. I will continue to make my girls grilled cheese sandwiches and each one is filled with love from me and Auntie Barb.
