Grandma you crack me up

I read to Grandma from her journal today and laughed my head off. I actually read from a letter that she had sent home to her parents while she attended BYU back in 1937. Her family only had enough money for her to attend one year but she talks about that year like it was the best of her life. The saddest day she can remember was when she found out she could not go back.

Anyway, I was reading a letter and got to the very end. I started to read the next line and could not stop laughing to finish reading the sentence for about a minute. Grandma was on the edge of her seat asking me, "what does it say? What does it say?". I barely squeaked this out before laughing again, "Maj says she is going to put manure in my shoes to see if I will grow some more." (grandma is about 5 feet tall)

The best part of this story was what Grandma did after I read the line. She started laughing so hard she snorted just like a little piglet. I couldn't believe it, I have never heard her laugh like that, EVER!! This caused the two of us to laugh even harder.

It was so great to have that brief moment in time where age did not seperate the two of us. It didn't matter that Grandma was 92 years old and her life was so different than mine currently is. She went through the depression, I have everything I could possibly want and more. She was on a mission in Hawaii when the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor, I only hear about the war on TV. She lived in a house tent for the first year of her married life, I have never thought of living in a tent for more than about three days while camping. None of this mattered for that brief moment in time. She and I were connected and laughed like two little school girls reading the funniest note they had EVER seen. Reading with Grandma-PRICELESS!!
