This #mumonamission Blog is dedicated to my Grandma Jane. Everything I write is what I would have liked to say to her, especially now that I have my little girl Willow.

My Grandmother was my rock, my teacher, my tutor, and the one person in this World that always wanted to kiss me not once but 3 times each time she saw me. She would wait at the door each time I left and wait till we honked before she’d stop waving and only close the door and go back inside once the car was out of sight. Just one block away and just a creek separating our houses I found myself there a lot growing up.  Forever in my heart that wonderful woman will always live on.

My Grandmother was an amazing Woman. She taught me to love – to give freely – and to enjoy the Company of your loved ones. She was the rock – the strength and backbone of the family. Her believing in me meant that I had the support I needed to face the World as a dancer. The funds, costume making, and fundraising all started with her. I love my Grandmother very much –> I take her everywhere I go. She lives in everything I do.
