Dammit. What a bad day for J to hear the news. She's out doing last minute shopping for food tomorrow. Her mom calls and lets me know. I let J get into the house and put stuff away all chipper before hugging her and whispering that Nell died a few hours ago. My poor Love. Her Grandmother just about raised her (very country, close family).
Nell was a good woman. 86. Brunette, outrageous, outspoken and out of control. We disagreed all the way politically and teased each other endlessly, in good fun. She had J and I married in her beautiful, vast garden out in gorgeous East Texas under an arch of home grown flowers. One of the damned cows wandered to the fence and moo'ed just as the "speak now or forever hold your piece" line was spoken. Hysterical and I'm positive Nell talked that cow into it! Made for great home movie. Classy Lady, sexy as all get out in her day and as outspoken as they come. My boy is blessed to have spent so much time with his Great-Grandmother and listen to stories of what a pain in the ass his momma was.
Gents (and Ladies), if you find a moment and are so inclined, Nell deserves a thought and nod in her direction. We'll be burning the good stuff tonight and sipping the finest.
We miss you Nell....God bless you and damn, Woman, I wish I'd known you when you were 20 but I loved knowing you at 70. You're beautiful and we love you. Thank you for your life and all you taught two young kids about being adults and married so many years ago. J and I will have our 20th right in your garden pasture (complete with the damned complaining cow!) in just a few short more years.
Love and go get' em Nell!
