There are many relatives in life that you are closer to than others. Growing up, I adored visiting and being around my Granny Doris (which I have pronounced “Darz” since I was little). She was the one who introduced me to making chocolate ice cream by using vanilla ice cream and Hershey’s chocolate syrup. She also guided me in my relationship with God. Now that I am older, my mom keeps her informed of my accomplishments and whatever I have going on in my life. Being at college, it’s hard to hear about your older family members and any health issues they may have. I just want to be there, but I have another week of finals before that can happen.
No matter what I have going on, I know that Granny Doris is cheering me on. I also know that she looks for my columns in every Friday’s paper. So, this column is dedicated to her.
