It's the little things...

Tuesday evening is my little family time with my mom, step-dad, and grandmother. They take her out for dinner (and I join when I'm free) every Tuesday. It makes me so happy when I see her face light up. She always greets me with a big hug and always asks "how's my girl?!" Over dinner, we chat about whatever is going on in her life, good or bad, and my life. I mainly tell her about what I do at my internship and about my college classes, but she always responds with, "that's nice." It's adorable, but her way of telling me she is listening. After dinner, sometimes we stop by the grocery store to help her with her groceries, and, finally, take her home, where we chat a little bit more, and say our "till next times" because I am busy, but always make the effort when I am available. This evening, she surprised my my mom and I with our favorite chocolates Oh Henrys, which I didn't know about until she gave them to me, but their like a snickers , but better I think. It's the little things like this that make me the happiest, and makes me so thankful to have her in my life. These are the memories that I will remember for years to comes.
