Great (and I do mean great) Grandma Davenport

My Grandma Davenport was the sweetest most loving person I have ever met. I have so many fond memories of her and the house that she and my grandfather lived in. In my entire life I only remember her scolding me twice and I well deserved them. She had twinkling eyes and a laugh that was contagious. I loved it when she would play the piano and sing with us, the song inchworm will always remind me of her. In short, my childhood memories with my Grandma feel as close to magic as I may ever get.
When she died in 2004, it was so sudden. I don't think I would have changed anything about it, she seemed like she had made up her mind and was ready to go. Luckily all of the family that was in the area was able to be with her in the hospital when she went. I do remember being envious of my older brother who got to say goodbye to her over the phone, I envied his privacy, that we couldn't see or hear him cry. It was hard for me to do that in front of all my family, aunt, uncle, and cousins. When I think of her even today I still get bleary-eyed. We all loved her so much, but she was the founder of that love and gave it all back to us times ten.
There are so many ways that I would like to remember and honor my grandmother, the first of these was naming Esther after her. When Es was born in 2006 we took her down to my grandparents grave site on memorial day to remember them and take her picture. We have done so ever since, and I would like to continue this tradition, forever, if possible:) I don't have the very first picture on here (before I got a digital camera so I will have to scan it in later) and this year I was having a very hard time getting Esther to be where I wanted her but....you get the idea. I love both of these woman very much and as I remember one, I will thoroughly enjoy watching who the other will become!
