my grandmother died today.

her name was dorotha rucker. i'm going to miss her. she was a lovely lady.

i wrote a song for her and my pappy for their fiftieth wedding anniversary. it won an award and i gave her the plaque. she put it in her in back bedroom and told me to get a real job.
her picture was included on my first cd.

she used to fix the best milkshakes in the world when we were kids.

when my brother and i were little, mark had horrible warts all over his hands. grandmother washed his hands with a rag and they went and buried it under a full moon. she told him if he told anyone where they buried it the warts would come back. they were gone by the next day and they've never came back.

i got to sit with her this last week several hours and i can only hope that i'll die with as much grace as her.

god bless you, grandmother.....

i'll talk to guys later.....
