Tide and Downy

I washed my sheets and towels today and when I took them out of the dryer I wanted to cry (happy tears). They smelled like my Grandma Murdocks house. It was such a comfort! It was like I was on a laundry commercial, I couldn't stop smelling my towels! I called my Grandma and told her how much I love her!!! Then the tears really started to flow!!! My grandparents are both such GREAT examples to me. My Grandma is my hero! She is everything I hope to be as a mother, wife, church member and person in general. She is so kind, caring, nurturing and a good cook! :) I can't even imagine being a new mother and having my husband shipped off to war!!! She has had to make so many sacrifices, and I'm sure she did them without complaining! I hope that I can strive to be like her! I Love You Grandma!!!!

Not to copy the other comments, but ME TOO!

It's funny how something that seems so unimportant, ends up being part of the best memories.

I love grandma and grandpa too, their example of faith, sacrifice, hard work, and love, has taught me so much. If I can grow up to be just like them, then I will be satisfied.

I Love you!
