Good night. Sleep tight. Don't let the bed bugs bite.

The most important person in Mommy Laura's life peacefully died this morning. Grandma Hollenbeck was 93 years old and couldn't have asked for a better life. Mommy Laura will always remember her sleeping over every Christmas Eve, the red hot water bottle at her feet, picking black raspberries and strawberries, baking cookies and corn meal mush, chewing fresh mint and spitting it out, freshening up the bird bath in the summer and feeding them in the winter, hanging clothes on the line, walking back to the big rock, meeting me for the very first time and not forgetting my name even at the very end.
