This is not the blog I expected to write today. Today, my grandmother passed away. My grandmother was a woman who marched to the beat of her own drum. She taught me many things in life but the most important thing was that you should always be true to who you are. She never let anyone tell her what to do. I will always remember our days at the beach and our ride home from the beach listening to Al Alberts. Here’s to you grandma…I know you are happy up there with pop-pop.

“Down by the sea, by the beautiful sea…you and I, oh how happy we’ll be.”
