When malicious gossip or slander is passed along, the humanity of three people is thereby diminished .... the one who repeats the gossip, the one who listens to the gossip, and the one who is the subject of the gossip. When a person refrains from gossiping or tale-bearing, the angels rejoice from up above.

I just realized today that I haven't visited my grandma in awhile & it depressed me so I wrote her a poem to give her next week. I would have went over today but it was too late. Tomorrow I leave for Niagra Falls til Sunday. Anyways, heres the poem.

Cuz I remember.
I remember playing at the park.
I remember sleeping at your house.
I remember your cookies.
I could never forget those cookies.
I remember your food.
You were the best cook I ever knew.
I remember spending time with you.
I remember that smile.
You could always make me laugh.
I've matured... a bit.
But I'm still that little child, at heart.
I remember swinging on the swing.
I remember sitting on your porch.
I remember watching the birds
And the squirrels in your yard.
You always were
And you still are
The best grandma a girl could ever want.
Just the memories of being with you
Make me smile.
But the thought of my life passing by,
As I became too busy to just stop & say "Hi."
Makes me frown.
I'm I really that bad?
When did others things start to come first.
To me you should always be first.
I'm sorry for all the times,
I never made time for you.
I love you Grandma.
I remember & I smile.
I wonder have you baked any cookies lately?
I remember.
I remember that I truly do love you.
