Moments in Time
A Tribute to Grandma (Bea) Tassche
When I was born; she was there.
When my siblings were born; she was there
which means she was there often!
When she came to Arizona for a visit; she always had a treat or gift for us.
When Mom had a baby; she was in charge
she ran a tight ship
she feed us well
she kept us clean
she made us keep our rooms clean
and she made us go to bed on time.
She was quick to give us praise, hugs and kisses.
She loved each and every one of us and we knew it.
When she left town to go home, I’d cry and miss her so.
She came for my wedding and what a special day it was.
In the late 70’s word came she was moving to Arizona; and what a happy day that was.
When my children were small I wanted to give her a gift;
The gift of watching her great grandchildren grow up.
Because of the distance she missed many of the everyday events in mine and my siblings’ formative years.
So for many years as the boys grew, the 1st Monday of the month was “our time”.
We had many glorious moments.
They will always be special moments and memories for me, Pete, Jonathan & Derek.
When the great great grandchildren were born; there was her special touch, her hugs, her kisses and the look of love on her face.
Oh how she loved her family.
She was there when I was born; and I was there when she left us.
