I can read!

When my grandma was on her death bed we all went to spend some time with her. We fed her ice, arranged her pillows, and sat and talked with her when she was able. Anyone in my family can tell you that my grandma made The. Best. Jam. Ever. Among other things (lasagne, pie crust, fudge....)

Even though it has been just over 3 years since she died one conversation has been carved into my memory. It was between Grandma and my cousin Elna.

E: Grandma, who's gonna teach me how to make raspberry jam?
G: (in a very weak and shaky voice) Read the box.

That was it. And it was so funny we laughed and laughed. That was Grandma. She could say something and it would come out so funny. 

Well, today we picked raspberries and da da da I made jam. I read the box and made myself some jam! And it tastes amazing!
