johnnie

we lost my grandmommy yesterday.
my grandmommy, johnnie hutchison,
whose frame is teeny-tiny
but voice is big and strong.
i was so lucky to have her as a kindered spirit.
we don't get many of those in life.
i am infinitely thankful for her for multiple reasons,
for the excellent job she did raising my
beautiful mom and jack,
and how devoted she was to my grandaddy,
for spending so much time with sean and me growing up,
for the countless hours i spent at her house in college,
not even including our weekly lunch dates,
for her kind heart,
for her tough exterior,
for her magnetic personality,
excellent cooking,
for her elegant style,
and how so many of my friends considered her their grandmommy as well,
for her support of any adventure my brain could come up with,
for her delight in hutch and elsa,
loving them,
giving them attention and always engaging them even though
she couldn't hear the majority of what they were saying.
..and the list goes on and on.

Grandmommy loves Jesus, and i can't imagine how amazing this Christmas will be for her.
But we miss you, gmommy, and hutch was really looking forward to showing you the two newest monster trucks in his arsenal, team suzuki and batman, so that will be tough to explain.

And mom, thank you, thank you, thank you for your perfect care of her.
