Let me take this moment and thank Grandma Robinson, Grandpa Robinson, Grandpa Wyse, and my Uncle Jim for serving our country. The immense pride and love I have for these people is doubled because of their service to this country. Thank you to everyone who has and is serving in the Military. Happy Veteran's Day!
Grandma has mere weeks until she is in Missoula again.
On this day in WWII history
Grandma has mere weeks until she is in Missoula again.
"Just a few lines to let you know that I am still in existence & planning to come home. I'll arrive in Missoula the 22nd & have to leave around the 2nd. I am quite excited and the time seems to just literally drag."
She is beyond ready to be home. She spent the last year away from people she saw everyday for 20 years. She is about to jump out of her skin. Before she heads home for the holidays, Grandma has to defeat this recurring cold.
"My cold is practically gone now. I have been going to bed early and taking it easy. Anything that I can't stand is a cold."
Mom inherited Grandma's hatred of colds. Grandma says she's taking it easy, but she most likely goes to work everyday and doesn't take a day off to recover just like my Mom. Mom fights colds by beating the into submission with Vitamin C and working as if she was healthy. The world doesn't stop turning if they have a cold, so why should they stop moving? Go to work, come home, take some vitamin C, and go to be. Wake up and repeat.
Although these two women had no idea how to stop moving, having them in my life is an inspiration everyday. However, trying to convince my mother that I was sick enough to stay home from school was a fight I lost long before I was born.
