Why I Still Love And Remember My Granny In My 20s

If you are anything like me, you grew up with lots of different family members. One of my favorite family members hands down is my Granny (otherwise known as Amma). She means the world to me and I love doing life with her, even though we only get to see each other a few times a year.

I am in my 20s and I love every single moment I have with my Amma. I enjoy looking back on the memories we have made growing up and she's still herself. She's sometimes a little on the goofy side with her present buying, but she always has a backstory of why she thought the gift caught her eye.

My summers and winter visits with Amma are what I look forward to the most. She's from Michigan, so that's why I don't get to see her very often. But when I do we are always eating some sort of sweet treat (sorry mom). But we do more than just eating sweets, we spend time reminiscing about when I was a little girl and how I loved playing in the basement with the Kooi Kitchen (my cousins will know about this as well).

I love my Amma because she does not care what other people think of her. She says whats on her mind, even if it doesn't make a lick of sense. But that's what makes her my Amma and my cousin's Amma. I don't know what I'd do without her, she's the glue that keeps our family together.

I will always remember my past and recent memories with my Amma. I love that I am still able to have her here with me to talk to, even if she is on social media liking and commenting on all of my posts, she does it with love.

As always, thanks for reading! Do you have a favorite memory or memories with your Amma (Grandma)? I'd love to hear it down below in the comments. Stay tuned for early January because I will be writing about my other grandma, you won't want to miss it!

The dynamics of any friend group are usually determined by the personalities which make it up.
