What's so amazing about Grace?

This post is dedicated to my Grams, Grace Schioppi!

The woman in the picture above, my grandmother, is by far the most amazing woman I know, Grace. Throughout my life she has been there for me and has taught me so much. It is an honor to name our daughter after her. Below are a few things I want to share about my grams

Grace is:
*A mother of six, grandmother of 17, great grandmother of 14 (15 in a few short weeks)
*warm
*kind hearted
*loving
*dedicated to God and her family
*strong, after having a stroke and still caring for her youngest son with MS.
*hard working
*patient
*a great teacher
*funny
*beautiful
*the best cook I know
*thoughtful
*loyal

My favorite memories with grams:
*cooking with her in the kitchen
*playing cards with her
*listening to stories about her childhood
*spending the night at her house (3-4 nights a week while growing up)
*singing songs
*calling each other up and singing our rendition of Stevie Wonder's - "I just called....to say...I love you"
*teaching me how to sew
*our walks in the morning
*going to church
*making me split pea soup when I was sick
*making me laugh

I might add more to this post later, but for now I wanted to write down a few things...

I love my grams and don't know what I would do without her.
