80 years ago today my Grandma and Grandpa Brown were married for eternity in the Salt Lake LDS temple. It has been over 15 years since they passed away but I miss them and think of them often. I have fond memories of holidays at their house, vacations with them to Yellowstone and just Sunday afternoon visits. One day we were talking about my running and Grandma mentioned she used to love to run and run as a little girl. Of course she lived in a time when there weren't organized sports for women so I guess we'll never know for sure but I like to think that's where I got it from. A couple years ago a running friend of mine figured out he had grown up in my grandparents ward. He still remembered Grandpa's chocolates all these years later and his wife remembered him as one of her high school teachers. Sometimes I am jealous of my older cousins who had a lot more years to spend with Grandma and Grandpa but I know I'll see them again and they are celebrating together today. I love you Grandma and Grandpa!

Wow! I totally see Rebecca in your grandma!
