Words can’t explain how I feel I can’t come up with the words to express how my grandmother impacted my life,childhood my memories of my granny is fresh as a garden just like the one she loved to plant things in she taught me how to be kind and loving to others I remember our weekly walk through neighborhoods as she knocked on numerous of doors spreading the word of Jehovah to others as I watched just how loved and respected she was even till her last days she would get on me like I was her lil man from the past I loved going to school with her in my adolescent days she really embraced me not only as her grandchild but she treated me like I was her son there were things if my mother couldn’t come through my grandmother was always there for me and vice versa my only thing that I’m hating myself for now at this very moment is that I didn’t contact or visit as much as I know she would’ve wanted my heart hurts and is not going to heal anytime soon I just lost my best friend and now my granny months later life isn’t fair I just can’t wait to see you at peace for the last time but I know you’re in good hands with the savior Jehovah at your side but until I see you again grandma I will always love and cherish you

🌹💜 My name is Khadija, and Ms. Ida Mae. Lloyd was my grandma. I remember her from as young as 8 years old. One of the main things I remember about her is that she was a very sophisticated woman, sassy but classy, lol, she loved the color purple and she always smelled soo good. My grandma wore two distinct perfumes that I remember up to this day and that was, ‘LouLou’ & ‘Knight’s Perfumed Lotion.’ No wonder I love perfume so much! Lol… She was a soft spoken woman and never got loud. She would really make you think and just use your own common sense with matters. My Grandma taught me how to cook eggs and sweet potatoes and how to season greens and cut the corn off the cob and fry it in a skillet, so yummy. She was a great cook, and I’m thankful for her teaching me. She always had people over to eat on Sundays. She would press our hair and even put the prettiest curls in our hair. Although my grandma had some tough times throughout her life she always extended a helping hand to those in need. No she wasn’t perfect, but she was a great woman and she truly made a positive impact in my life as well as many, many others in our family and those she got acquainted with. She remained a believer in Jehovah until the end, the anchor of her life!
I’m glad that I was able to spend the last couple of months of this year with her. Flying from Arizona to Milwaukee was all worth it; and the best part is that I was able to cook her meals and talk to her and sit by her bedside and hold her precious hand. I will forever hold many unforgettable memories in my heart of my Grandma. Love Always, your Granddaughter, Khadija! ❤️ 💙 💜 💖
