Most of my grandparents passed away when I was young or before I was even born. But I’ll remember this of my grandfather ...when I was a little girl I always wanted a horse for my Barbie dolls...but didn’t get it. When I was grown (20yrs old) my grandfather was dying, my brother went to go visit with him and he brought me back something my grandad wanted to give me. It was a Barbie Doll Horse.
(My family thrives in dark humor) After an interesting funeral, my cousins, siblings, and I were posing for our own funeral pics, silly & serious. My grandmother joined in and we had a blast... until the aunts and uncles got all in their feelings.
The fact that they listened, didn't dismiss her and then made what she wanted to do actually happen is beautiful. The love and respect that they have for her is so strong. And she looks absolutely beautiful.
I had a real grandma. She would cook pots of food for ppl. Her only requirement was to send her pot back 😆😆 I miss her SO MUCH! She passed in 2018 and fortunately she had already begun preparing us for her passing and I was able to get pictures of her. Our family hasn't been the same, but we're trying to do what she told us to do and that was for us to stay close and keep loving each other #lizzysmalls
This was so my grandma. Everytime I would leave or before we end a call she would say to me " remember to take care of each"😢😢 she was home to me. I miss everything about her
My grandma was the same way. She would cook for people and send her pots too, but all she would say is "bring be back clean" 😂 we were blessed to have that type of grandma. They'll never be forgotten.
I didn't grow up near my grandmother, so getting to know her as an adult was special. She lived to 104 and to vote for Obama. I am glad I have a 4 generations photo with her, my dad, me and my daughter.
My fondest memory of my grandmother is when I came out to her and her words were "Puddin' I always knew you were different, I loved you then and and I love you now.."😭😭😭
Lol for the comments: she's not a BRIDE she's a widow💙 she asked to try on a dress bc when she got married in the yesterday, black folks weren't allowed to try on wedding dresses😥 either way she is beautiful and I'm thankful her family shared this 🙌🏾
This is my mother. She was a beautiful bribe. She has always said "Give me my flowers while I live", so there has been many memorable moments created to honor her life over years. I(we) appreciate you sharing and adding your very comical but true commentary. Please know that my mother is truly in awe and grateful now that she's an international celebrity. 😊❤
My grandma was about 80 before Alzheimer’s hit, I went to visit her in Arizona. On the porch one night she was sweeping the patio and she put the broom in between her legs and said “ how do you like my ride?” with the biggest grin. I’ll never forget it. 🙂 This woman looked gorgeous. Bless her heart.
My mom, when Alzheimer’s hit she could only remember my daughter’s name and always asked for her. And I think the reason for that was that I named my daughter after her grandmother and I think in her mind she made that connection. Then she thought that my sister was her sister. My mom passed almost 3 yrs ago and I never forget how Alzheimer’s affected her.
@@md9710 understood. My gramma lived to 86, and it was the last 5 years that were so painful to watch. She would put lipstick on her eyebrows, and put her shirt on like pants, but she always had a big smile. Alzheimer’s is terrible.
I'm sending both of you love and hugs. I am dealing with it, with a loved one now. I understand the pain that you went through more than I'd like to. ♥️🕊️
I feel everyone here. My mom smiled a lot and would ask me" what storm brought you here." I would say Edna P, I wanted to see you and give her a kiss, hug and smile. Yes, Alzheimer's is terrible 🌈🎶❤🌹
This 94 yr old is my cousin and she is so FULL of life. When I had my baby, who is now 18, she INSISTED on keeping her and she was amazing and true blessing. As you said, she has loved on generations of family and we love on her and jump with whatever she wants. She is also a Bid Whist Queen!
Road trip to Mississippi for family reunion from California when I was 14years old.that was one of the best summers of my life jus to be with her❤️ I’m also named after her,I feel honored to represent her legacy... I’m so proud of her I been taking care of my granny for the last 8 month,who has lung cancer in the final stages. She didn’t want treatment.... I’m here to keep her comfortable as possible. she is 83years old. There is nothing I would not do for my granny. I quit my job to be here with her right now,I feel great to spend this time with her.❤️❤️❤️❤️ Cherish family 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
I appreciate the staff letting her try on Wedding Dresses 👗 and taking out time to accommodate the Grandmother and family I’m glad the family was able to capture Grandmothers Dreams. My Grandmother (Madea)is 94 years old and she’s doing well I call her every day and she calls me I Love her so much and I have a lot of pictures with my Grandmother. God is Good.
😂 My best friend’s great grand momma was like that. Still worked and often traveled from the south (cuz she got friends/2nd home there) to NY her permanent home on her own well into her 80’s and 90’s.
My grandma passed away a month ago. She was ninety three years old and my greatest confidant. We were so close and I have so many good memories. She got me hooked on watching the YOUNG and THE RESTLESS at nine years old 😝… Actually quite a few of them as we only were allowed the watch the TV in the kitchen. She was the best cook ever! The best Gumbo you could ever have in New Orleans was in my grandma’s kitchen . She was classy and elegant. The absolute best seamstress! I remember as a child going into stores that are no longer around…. Gus Mayer, DH Holmes, Maison Blanche and Krauss on Canal Street… I miss her so much 💔💔 And most of all ,her prayers kept the family together !! I wouldn’t be who I am today if I weren’t her! ….LOVE YOU HESTER MAE WILLIAMS
My mom passed from breast cancer when I was 6 months old. My mother’s parents never really got over the hurt of losing their daughter, but when I was young I would go over to their house now and then. They had a box of my mother’s things including photos and a lock of her hair. My grandma would sit on the floor with me and go through that box and tell me wonderful things about my mother, the woman that I never got to know. I will always remember those amazing times with her, and how her stories of my mother made her seem so alive in my memory, even tho I have no actual memory of her since I was so young when she passed. Thanks for reminding me to count my blessings ❤️
I'm sorry for your loss. My mom lost her mother at a young age (7 years, not 6 months) and it left a wound that never healed. On the other hand, it made family a very precious thing to her. I'm glad your grandmother did all she could to give you as much of your mother as she could.
My grandmother is 95 years old, my favorite moments with her will be cooking, listening to her childhood memories growing up in Barbados 🇧🇧, preparing us for school, running 🏃♀️ from a good Trini 🇹🇹 a** whopping 😆lol, all her good Caribbean treats 😋 So many wonderful memories I have with her But the most beautiful one is , all the love she showed us and the values she instilled in us that made her a 👸🏾 .
My grandma loves doing “hip” things. The times I took her out for Korean BBQ, frozen yogurt or Pho are some of my favorite memories with her! We like to eat lol We hope to keep doing more stuff like that when she feels comfortable going out again.... with the Paprika still going on and all. Create great memories w/ yo Gma, everyone! 👵🏾
My grandmother has a way to make all of her grand, great grand, great great grand, and great great grands feel like they're her favorite, even though I'm really her most favorite one.
Thank you for that. It was at my grandmothers funeral that i too felt like my grandmother made her grandchildren feel like each one was her favorite. I really miss my grandma Susie.
I never had a grandmother. One died two years before I came along and the other died when I was six months. I think I missed out on a lot of love and memories, especially since my parents didn't have a lot of photos. For those who have them please cherish them for as long as you can.
I agree!! Both of my grandfather's died and one of my grandmother's before I was born. And then my other Grandmother died when I was 11, and I had met her a few times but she loved far away and I don't have many memories other than drinking her Lactose Free Milk 😅 But I wish so much that I had grandparents actively in my life. I always hear people talking about there's and I can't really relate to it.
I am so sorry that you did not get that experience. However, you may be blessed to give the Very Special Grandmother Energy to someone special when you reach that time period. It is an honor to be crowned with that title in someone's life. Who knows maybe your grandmothers are on the Other Side of The Veil guarding your steps to greatness with God's permission...because Real Grandmothers never stop watching over their families not even when they transition. They just get upgraded in access 😉💗
LOVE Big Mama.... my most cherished memory is our Friday routine. Every Friday night, for the last 8 or 9 years, I go to Big Mama's house for dinner. I bring her 3 tall cans of Michelada beer, and my beer. Then we sit on the back porch listening to her favorite music while we drink and smoke together - u know cuz it helps Big Mama's arthritis 😉
As her oldest grandchild, it was an honor for me to care for my Granny until she passed with me at her bedside in January of 2020. I drove back and forth between Wichita and Dallas every week until I took a one way trip to stay with Granny. On the trips, my own children captured pics of Granny and me together at different moments, holding hands, sitting quietly together, me crying, her whispering to me. I will cherish our last moments together, hearing Granny thanking me for taking care of her and me thanking Granny for taking care of me.
I buried my mother and father 5 months apart 7 years ago. They had been married 58 years then, and they got married on the Air Force Base where my Father was stationed and it was basically like the courthouse weddings just on base. So for their 50th wedding anniversary me and my 3 siblings paid for and planned them a wedding ceremony at the church we all attended. I can see the pictures from that day on the wall in the front room right now. I have 3 grandkids now and I’m Nana! They are my example, and the ceremony we had made them happy, but was nothing compared to what they have put into us.
Well they raised you all right, that's for sure! My dream is to bless the people I love with rich and meaningful gifts like this one day. God willing 🙏🏽
My grandparents raised me. My Papaw is still living, but my granny has been gone 18 years. I have so many memories, but the ones that stick out would be us as a collective preparing the spring or fall garden. Whew, thought I was big ish the first time my Papaw let me use the tiller! Another big memory would be Christmas! That was my granny’s favorite holiday and she always made it so magical!
Many of our grandparents sacrificed ALOT of their dreams for us. Back then they couldn’t “have it all” My granddad didn’t go to college, he went straight to work after high school (which it was an achievement for a sharecropper’s son to even finish HS) and he let my grandma go off to school. He did a great job earning for his family and setting himself for retirement. So in his 70’s he wanted to go back to school just to achieve a former dream of his. He got his bachelors [walked across the same stage] at the age of 74 and got his master’s (in theology...he’s now a preacher) with my cousin at 77; he was the oldest graduate at the uni - made local news. It was adorable seeing him walk on campus with his backpack all tight on his back. He would call me if I was missed/late for class, “Baby, I didn’t see you in class today. Did you lose your way?” 😂 I’d think “No Pop Pop I just have a hangover” Graduating with my granddad was one of the memorial moments of my life! So proud of him! My children’s children will know...
My grandfather passed this past February he was 91 but he was hilarious. He was the type of person that would (admittedly) mess with people just for shits and giggles. I specifically remember him saying to my brother that he wanted to be cremated that way even in death he can have people coughing and sneezing. I miss his ridiculousness and the way he used to piss people off I always laughed hysterically around him when he wasn’t being longwinded
That's so funny! Reminds me of when my own grandpa's time came near, he said he wanted to be cremated with his ashes spread in the sea because he spent so many years eating fish that it was time for the fish to eat him!
My Maternal Grandma passed away in 2019, she was the BACKBONE of the family, when she left, it was never the same, My grandad has been tryna make it. Cherish your Loved ones yall🥰
I was raised by my grandma... I lost her in 2017 she was 95... I miss her so much.. we shared birthdays... she was definitely the glue that held my family together ❤
My grandpa passed in 2020 right before everyone was aware of COVID. My most cherished memory was how I convinced him (a quiet, serious but loving man) to chaperone for my 1st grade class trip to Dorney Park. We got on the wild mouse ride and he hollered and cursed the whole entire ride, while I was enjoying the thrill. Never heard him yell like that. After the ride, he said he “almost had a heart attack” and just rode on the slow train ride around the park 😂.
@@sonderson6363 I know what it said & I still said you're never too old to get married because a lot of people (that I've encountered) have said they were too old to get married or remarry
The look on her face... is absolutely priceless. How blessed at 94 to experience a moment she thought she had missed and how beautiful her "babies" that made it happen. This was awesome. 😊❤️
My maternal granny was my best friend. My other grandparents died before I was born so she was all I knew, my everything. She was extremely active in our lives from birth. She lived to be 83. Alzheimer's was the culprit. After I moved away, I used to sneak into town for the weekend to take her to dinner and a movie without telling my parents I was in town. It was our little secret. 💗 I am so blessed that I have pictures of us together and handwritten cards that she sent me in the mail. I also have her book of recipes in her handwriting. I have memories that I will cherish for a lifetime.
My most cherished moment was going to our homeland Puerto Rico. Only my grandmother and I went. We danced, we ate, and even went on a nature trail together. I really forever cherish that moment with my grandma 🤍
This was beautiful and her grand daughter did a wonderful thing. I lost my grandmother years ago miss her every day. My foundation is gone. My favorite thing I miss most is the holiday cookouts her laughing and giving me the neighborhood scoop.
My most cherish moment with my granny was when I passed the pic of my ultrasound of my first born.....she said "keech (Nevaa could pronounce my name) what you showing me" 😭😭 granny I'm pregnant her jaw dropped and she said hmmmmm....and grabbed me and hugged me.. grandparent's is a grandchild safe place🥰
My “Big Grammy” is still with us, 88 years young. (Her mother lived to 101 & we called her Lil Grammy). Big G, as short as she is lol, is the matriarch for sure. Widowed 25 years back. Still holds us down as a family: cooking, cleaning, looking after her great grandkids like she did her own 7 babies. Just lost 1 of the 7 this spring, so that has been hard. Gram always has a smile for you though & a cold drink or a hot plate. Lives with my auntie who runs a daycare out of their home, which keeps her active.🙏🏽❤️Cherish them like EJ said!
This moment is precious and the grandmother looks FANTASTIC in that dress!!!!! Yes, it is very important to take pictures of loved ones . Now that they are no longer here, the pictures of them are comforting . They show the memories and good times we shared . I have numerous pictures of me with my grandmothers, aunt, mother, father and I am glad I do.
I love grandma. Shes 85 years old. Im glad i got to know her. My grandma on my dad side died. I still have so many questions to ask that i dont know how to get the answer to. Please charish your grandparents
The part that you mentioned saying, “We’re so busy being on our phones than making memories with our families.” It’s so true. I have moments of remembering my grandfather coming to visit me on Grandparents Day when I was in second grade. I didn’t know if he was going to come or not, but when he made it I was so happy. I have more like celebrating the holidays and birthdays with my grandparents. As time passed, they’ve transitioned. Thanks EJ for doing this.✨💙
Never had a "big mama" even though she was alive until I was in my 40's. She just didn't like us. That's really cool though. God bless her and the family she is kind and loving to.
My kids will probably never meet their grandma or grandad. My dad died at six. My mom's health is fading away. I don't have kids yet. So. Yeah. But, at least I have good memories of them both. Yah's blessings to you all. Edit: I pray that my mom lives for years to come, but it's not looking well. She has cancer, I think. The doctors aren't calling it that, but it probably is.
@@memefaison6007 May the Lord Bless you and yours. And when it's time for babies, keep the memories alive for them. Love and comfort and Blessings to your Mom. Strength to you both. ⛪🔯🙏💜😇🙅👍
My most cherished memories from visiting my grandma in Memphis, TN was her breakfast. Biscuits and gravy with mini hamburger patties. Her carmel cakes and pretty much anything my grandma cooked made me feel loved and at home.
My grandma was a BOSS !!! 80 years old speedign down the highway with a cigeratte cussing you out and giving you the bird for driving too slow, making her late for bingo. Annie E didn't care, she would tell you about yourself in one breath and love one in the next....man I miss her. Too bad my aunt is holding all the pictures hostage
What the hell? My grandma was named Anne too and she cussed although a Jeehovahs Witness and talk crap too and told everybody’s business! And you aint say shyt about it. Lol. PS I got the pictures
My grandma got me addicted to orange slices candy and Vernors ginger ale. My Grandpa would always encourage me to keep doing what I'm doing and he left to be 100. Is a blessing to have memories to cherish I just wish that I could have taken more photos with them while they were here.
My grandma was 79 when she passed from complications brought on by Alzheimer’s. I would give ANYTHING to have a moment such as this…ANY type of moment with her, to be quite honest with you. I was blessed enough, however, to be raised by her, so she instilled all of the values that only someone from her generation could give. I have so many great memories with her that I don’t even know where to begin with sharing them with you. I will say she was the original Madea before Tyler Perry came about, gun in the purse and all. She was the type that would tell you exactly how she felt about you with zero f*cks given. Even though she had a strong mouth and could curse like a sailor, she was also the type to give you her last if you needed it. Just don’t piss her off, or she would be hell on wheels to you from that moment on. Would permanently forget your name and everything. 😒
My Nana was the most beautiful, magical, and funny lady. I have so many great memories. She passed at 94 in 2018 and passed being a great great grandmother. My favorite if when I used to say “Nana your shirt is unbuttoned.” And she would say “girl I’m trying to catch!” As in catch is a new grandpa 🤣. I miss her something fierce!!
My grandparents had a full decorated church wedding ceremony and reception after 60 yrs of marriage. The daughters were bridesmaids and the sons were groomsmen. We bought them every over the top decoration my grandma wanted (even though she told us it was too much for our weddings) Lol. Grandma loved it!! Grandpa just showed up.
My grandmothers were absolutely loved and they loved to the end. We were blessed enough to know when their time was coming to a close and say goodbye. Most people don't get to leave so gracefully. My father's mother made her wish clear to see all of her living/born children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren before she passed and we made it happen.
I was only 10 when my Granny passed. I didn't realize how strong she was until I was an adult. This was a woman who was a widow with seven kids. She left the country and moved to the city during segregation. All of her kids (except one who was mentally ill) pitched in collectively to support the household. One of my favorite memories was watching TV with my Granny. She would sit in her rocking chair, and I would sit by her feet. I also loved her soft hair, and the way that she smelled. I love you Granny.
I have so many Beautiful memories of my Grandmother 💕but she didn’t believe in taken pictures so we had to sneak them in !! Bless her heart she lived to be 99 yrs old still living in her home her wig was on backwards but she lived out every moment! So Last week I printed out all of the pictures of me and my granddaughter so she can see and have those memories of us
I basically grew up with my grandma til about 3 years old when I started school and even then I would bug my mom to go there almost every weekend. I have so many memories with her in the garden or singing hymns or watching her soaps. Even when she was getting sick and going, I would always kiss her hello and goodbye. Once I was in a rush and left without doing it. She actually called my mom and made me come back to give her the kiss lol. Man, I love her so much!!! I miss her beyond words 😢
I don't necessarily have good memories with my biological grandparents. My paternal side is estranged and essentially non-existent. My maternal grandmother passed away before I was born and that's probably the one that leaves me biggest hole. I have so many questions that I'll never know the answers to or things I'll never experience. That's not to say I didn't have a "grandma". That woman was in my life from the age of 6 months to when she passed, I was about 10. I loved that lady and my fondest memory will forever be her attempting to comb my hair...with my tender headed self and us watching her shows together. I feel people my age and younger just stopped respecting their elders and I can't stand it because you still have yours. Don't take them for granted.
I have a lot of good memories with my grandparents almost all taking place on Black Friday because I spent the night at their house alot when i was little Thanksgiving night like get breakfast at their favorite dinner. staying up and watching Jeopardy with my grandma. my granddad trying to teach me to golf. My grandma teaching me to make popcorn in a pot. Go to the movies with them. Seeing a musical with my grandma. My grandma telling me the story of how they met. Im still pretty young so I've got time for more
When I was a kid my grandma use to make dolls out of clay for me, she would spend hours making them. I still have them, they're my favorites i own and every time I see them, they remind me of her. She really was the best person.
Out of clay like it says we was made . Did u learn how to make them ? My dad past almost 8 yrs ago he’s cremated . When u said clay dolls and ern for my dad popped into my head . I’d like one if u make it .
My grandmother basically raised me. She has been there through my highschool graduation, my college graduation and my wedding. Tears everytime. Just thankful she's alive to witness it with me.
With my granny on my dad side: Sitting on the porch, drinking lemonade, listening to her spill the tea about her neighbors and family. With my granny on my mom side: Waking up on Saturdays to go clean up the church, run her errands, and then her treating me to lunch for being her "roll dog" lol Both of my grannys were the absolute best and I miss them both desperately. They both lived through the Civil Rights Movement, abusive relationships, heartbreak, being single mothers, and everything else, but you wouldn't have known from the way they loved and loved on ppl. 🤎🤎🤎
I wish I had more photos with my parents & grandparents. I hate that I never had the chance to know my grandparents as an adult. My paternal grandfather died before I was born, I lost the remaining 3 grandparents between the time I was 12 - 19. This was a special day for this granny & her family, I'm happy they shared the moment with us, and reminded us to keep making memories & documenting them with our loved ones ❤
My fondest memory of my late paternal grandmother was of her cutting the meat in every of her meal into pieces. She would then call each grandchild to take a piece. I bawled at her wake (I was about 8 or 9) and danced like the holy spirit during the procession so much so that they let me lead the procession. My maternal grandmother is still living and is the gentlest soul. She always had packs of white handkerchiefs which she made sure to give me each time she saw me because it's ladylike. I remember when I was about 7, I was burning up with malaria so she strapped me to her back and trekked hundreds of miles to the evening clinic to get me shots. She did this for many days till I was better. I am so grateful to have these memories with these women! 💓
EJ: Okay guys, share your fondest memories with your grandparents!
Also EJ: *doesn't have any fond memories to share*
Same sis 😭❤️
Me either.
Same. My grandma was always old even in her pictures. But I look forward to getting to really know her after the Great Resurrection
Most of my grandparents passed away when I was young or before I was even born.
But I’ll remember this of my grandfather ...when I was a little girl I always wanted a horse for my Barbie dolls...but didn’t get it.
When I was grown (20yrs old) my grandfather was dying, my brother went to go visit with him and he brought me back something my grandad wanted to give me. It was a Barbie Doll Horse.

After an interesting funeral, my cousins, siblings, and I were posing for our own funeral pics, silly & serious. My grandmother joined in and we had a blast... until the aunts and uncles got all in their feelings.
Can we just talk about how good she looked in that dress?!?!
Yes! She is beautiful!💜💕
She really did! She didn't look like a 94 year old bride, she looked way younger!
@@blackgold2029 that’s what I’m saying! Dress fit well and everything! If her husband has passed, I hope she gives love a try again. She still got it!
@@MR_Mocha_Major she most definitely still got it!!!
Absolutely!!
The fact that they listened, didn't dismiss her and then made what she wanted to do actually happen is beautiful. The love and respect that they have for her is so strong. And she looks absolutely beautiful.
Awww she looks beautiful… get it granny!!! She doesn’t look 94…
same thing I was thinking… BEAUTIFUL 🥰🥰
Me too! She's sooo beautiful! 🥰😍 God has Blessed her.
Isn’t she lovely isn’t she beautiful and blessed
I had a real grandma. She would cook pots of food for ppl. Her only requirement was to send her pot back 😆😆 I miss her SO MUCH! She passed in 2018 and fortunately she had already begun preparing us for her passing and I was able to get pictures of her. Our family hasn't been the same, but we're trying to do what she told us to do and that was for us to stay close and keep loving each other #lizzysmalls
This was so my grandma. Everytime I would leave or before we end a call she would say to me " remember to take care of each"😢😢 she was home to me. I miss everything about her
My grandma was the same way. She would cook for people and send her pots too, but all she would say is "bring be back clean" 😂 we were blessed to have that type of grandma. They'll never be forgotten.
That’s my friends grandma (she’s from Haiti) and she wouldn’t cook for us until we returned her tubberware lol.
Same here grandma passed in 2019 she was 104 and we miss her so much! It still hurts!
I love this. My grandma passed back in March. I know how it feels to miss someone! But I fell out at sending her pot back 😫😫😂😂😂
I didn't grow up near my grandmother, so getting to know her as an adult was special. She lived to 104 and to vote for Obama. I am glad I have a 4 generations photo with her, my dad, me and my daughter.
So beautiful!

Lol for the comments: she's not a BRIDE she's a widow💙 she asked to try on a dress bc when she got married in the yesterday, black folks weren't allowed to try on wedding dresses😥 either way she is beautiful and I'm thankful her family shared this 🙌🏾
Now I’m crying lordt
Back in the day, a black seamstress would have made her dress.
@@gaillewis5472 - If she could have afforded to pay for that.
I figured there was some type of history to it and I thank you for this information. So glad grandma was able to live out a dream of hers ❤️
Dang that's a good point. It's crazy just how recent segregation amd jim crow actually is.
Good for her!! living her life instead of so many now just sitting on the couch criticising others 🎉 Bravo! ❤
Also, I say "Purple Hull Pea Pancake". On this channel, we have a habit of NOT SAYING pandemic. Instead, we replace it with a random 'p' word🥴.
Thanks for the captions for the hearing impaired 🤣. I went back bout 50/11 times trying to hear😂
💀😂 Thank you!
Ooooo sis thank you for this! I muted the TV and sat quiet to try to make sure I heard what you said! 🤣😂🤣
😆😆😆😆😂😂
Ok! Cause I was like... The purple what now???? Let me look through the comments to see what EJ said.
Thanks EJ!
This is my mother. She was a beautiful bribe. She has always said "Give me my flowers while I live", so there has been many memorable moments created to honor her life over years. I(we) appreciate you sharing and adding your very comical but true commentary. Please know that my mother is truly in awe and grateful now that she's an international celebrity. 😊❤
Your mother looked absolutely beautiful.🙂
Your mother is beautiful ❤️❤️ thank y’all for letting us see her in her wedding dress .
My grandma was about 80 before Alzheimer’s hit, I went to visit her in Arizona. On the porch one night she was sweeping the patio and she put the broom in between her legs and said “ how do you like my ride?” with the biggest grin. I’ll never forget it. 🙂 This woman looked gorgeous. Bless her heart.
My mom, when Alzheimer’s hit she could only remember my daughter’s name and always asked for her. And I think the reason for that was that I named my daughter after her grandmother and I think in her mind she made that connection. Then she thought that my sister was her sister.

I was just about to talk about my Nana and we are all from Arizona. Just thought I mention that! 😁
She looks darn good for 94! She looked beautiful.😍
This 94 yr old is my cousin and she is so FULL of life. When I had my baby, who is now 18, she INSISTED on keeping her and she was amazing and true blessing. As you said, she has loved on generations of family and we love on her and jump with whatever she wants. She is also a Bid Whist Queen!

I’m so proud of her

I’m here to keep her comfortable as possible. she is 83years old. There is nothing I would not do for my granny.
I quit my job to be here with her right now,I feel great to spend this time with her.❤️❤️❤️❤️
Cherish family 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
I appreciate the staff letting her try on Wedding Dresses 👗 and taking out time to accommodate the Grandmother and family I’m glad the family was able to capture Grandmothers Dreams. My Grandmother (Madea)is 94 years old and she’s doing well I call her every day and she calls me I Love her so much and I have a lot of pictures with my Grandmother. God is Good.
My grandma is 82 and stays booked and busy. We have to ask HER to put us on her calendar for a piece of time 🤣
I love it! 😂
😂 My best friend’s great grand momma was like that. Still worked and often traveled from the south (cuz she got friends/2nd home there) to NY her permanent home on her own well into her 80’s and 90’s.
Go Granny!
Mine too, she's always out drinking with her friends 😂
@@jocybum now that is my life goal right there
Omg this bought tears to my eyes. She's so beautiful and she's just glowing with joy. I'm happy her family did this for her!
This made my day. She looks so beautiful and joyous. Bless her 94 yrs and then some 🥰
She's so beautiful! What a blessing grandmothers are. ❤
Legit almost started crying on the bus... That was beautiful...
My grandma passed away a month ago. She was ninety three years old and my greatest confidant. We were so close and I have so many good memories. She got me hooked on watching the YOUNG and THE RESTLESS at nine years old 😝… Actually quite a few of them as we only were allowed the watch the TV in the kitchen. She was the best cook ever! The best Gumbo you could ever have in New Orleans was in my grandma’s kitchen . She was classy and elegant. The absolute best seamstress! I remember as a child going into stores that are no longer around…. Gus Mayer, DH Holmes, Maison Blanche and Krauss on Canal Street… I miss her so much 💔💔 And most of all ,her prayers kept the family together !! I wouldn’t be who I am today if I weren’t her! ….LOVE YOU HESTER MAE WILLIAMS
That's so sweet! I love it! She looks amazing!
My mom passed from breast cancer when I was 6 months old. My mother’s parents never really got over the hurt of losing their daughter, but when I was young I would go over to their house now and then. They had a box of my mother’s things including photos and a lock of her hair. My grandma would sit on the floor with me and go through that box and tell me wonderful things about my mother, the woman that I never got to know. I will always remember those amazing times with her, and how her stories of my mother made her seem so alive in my memory, even tho I have no actual memory of her since I was so young when she passed. Thanks for reminding me to count my blessings ❤️
And thank you for reminding me to count my blessings!
I'm sorry for your loss. My mom lost her mother at a young age (7 years, not 6 months) and it left a wound that never healed. On the other hand, it made family a very precious thing to her. I'm glad your grandmother did all she could to give you as much of your mother as she could.
My grandmother is 95 years old, my favorite moments with her will be cooking, listening to her childhood memories growing up in Barbados 🇧🇧, preparing us for school, running 🏃♀️ from a good Trini 🇹🇹 a** whopping 😆lol, all her good Caribbean treats 😋 So many wonderful memories I have with her But the most beautiful one is , all the love she showed us and the values she instilled in us that made her a 👸🏾 .
She looks BEAUTIFUL!!!!
My grandma loves doing “hip” things. The times I took her out for Korean BBQ, frozen yogurt or Pho are some of my favorite memories with her! We like to eat lol We hope to keep doing more stuff like that when she feels comfortable going out again.... with the Paprika still going on and all. Create great memories w/ yo Gma, everyone! 👵🏾
I was NOT expecting to be crying tonight but this TRULY touched me🥲
I miss my granny so much. She was my everything. She passed 13 years ago and I haven’t been the same since.
I'm 6ft4, 265lbs and this right here, made me tear up, bless her heart.❤❤❤
My grandmother has a way to make all of her grand, great grand, great great grand, and great great grands feel like they're her favorite, even though I'm really her most favorite one.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Thank you for that. It was at my grandmothers funeral that i too felt like my grandmother made her grandchildren feel like each one was her favorite. I really miss my grandma Susie.
🥰💜
I never had a grandmother. One died two years before I came along and the other died when I was six months. I think I missed out on a lot of love and memories, especially since my parents didn't have a lot of photos. For those who have them please cherish them for as long as you can.
I agree!! Both of my grandfather's died and one of my grandmother's before I was born. And then my other Grandmother died when I was 11, and I had met her a few times but she loved far away and I don't have many memories other than drinking her Lactose Free Milk 😅
But I wish so much that I had grandparents actively in my life. I always hear people talking about there's and I can't really relate to it.
I am so sorry that you did not get that experience. However, you may be blessed to give the Very Special Grandmother Energy to someone special when you reach that time period. It is an honor to be crowned with that title in someone's life. Who knows maybe your grandmothers are on the Other Side of The Veil guarding your steps to greatness with God's permission...because Real Grandmothers never stop watching over their families not even when they transition. They just get upgraded in access 😉💗
@@dr.100purrscent5 This is a good way of looking at it and does give me some comfort.
Well
I am 67 years old. I don't mind stepping into great mother duty. I have 2 little grand girls who are just 2 years old.
LOVE Big Mama.... my most cherished memory is our Friday routine. Every Friday night, for the last 8 or 9 years, I go to Big Mama's house for dinner. I bring her 3 tall cans of Michelada beer, and my beer. Then we sit on the back porch listening to her favorite music while we drink and smoke together - u know cuz it helps Big Mama's arthritis 😉
I aint mad at her
Aww. She looks beautiful. HalleluYah!
“Momma you ready to lay down” Ej 😂.
But she looked beautiful!
Yeah she did! ❤😍
As her oldest grandchild, it was an honor for me to care for my Granny until she passed with me at her bedside in January of 2020. I drove back and forth between Wichita and Dallas every week until I took a one way trip to stay with Granny. On the trips, my own children captured pics of Granny and me together at different moments, holding hands, sitting quietly together, me crying, her whispering to me. I will cherish our last moments together, hearing Granny thanking me for taking care of her and me thanking Granny for taking care of me.
I buried my mother and father 5 months apart 7 years ago. They had been married 58 years then, and they got married on the Air Force Base where my Father was stationed and it was basically like the courthouse weddings just on base. So for their 50th wedding anniversary me and my 3 siblings paid for and planned them a wedding ceremony at the church we all attended. I can see the pictures from that day on the wall in the front room right now. I have 3 grandkids now and I’m Nana! They are my example, and the ceremony we had made them happy, but was nothing compared to what they have put into us.
This was beautiful ❤️
Well they raised you all right, that's for sure! My dream is to bless the people I love with rich and meaningful gifts like this one day. God willing 🙏🏽
Beautiful
That dress is just omg beautiful and so is she 🥰🥰🥰
My grandparents raised me. My Papaw is still living, but my granny has been gone 18 years. I have so many memories, but the ones that stick out would be us as a collective preparing the spring or fall garden. Whew, thought I was big ish the first time my Papaw let me use the tiller! Another big memory would be Christmas! That was my granny’s favorite holiday and she always made it so magical!
She is so beautiful, she looks amazing at 94. wish I got to know my grandmother.
Many of our grandparents sacrificed ALOT of their dreams for us. Back then they couldn’t “have it all” My granddad didn’t go to college, he went straight to work after high school (which it was an achievement for a sharecropper’s son to even finish HS) and he let my grandma go off to school. He did a great job earning for his family and setting himself for retirement. So in his 70’s he wanted to go back to school just to achieve a former dream of his. He got his bachelors [walked across the same stage] at the age of 74 and got his master’s (in theology...he’s now a preacher) with my cousin at 77; he was the oldest graduate at the uni - made local news. It was adorable seeing him walk on campus with his backpack all tight on his back. He would call me if I was missed/late for class, “Baby, I didn’t see you in class today. Did you lose your way?” 😂 I’d think “No Pop Pop I just have a hangover” Graduating with my granddad was one of the memorial moments of my life! So proud of him! My children’s children will know...
The best grandparent story l’ve read so far 💕 Blessings to you and yours and thank you for sharing. You brought back beautiful memories of my elders.
My grandfather passed this past February he was 91 but he was hilarious. He was the type of person that would (admittedly) mess with people just for shits and giggles. I specifically remember him saying to my brother that he wanted to be cremated that way even in death he can have people coughing and sneezing. I miss his ridiculousness and the way he used to piss people off I always laughed hysterically around him when he wasn’t being longwinded
💐
He sounds like he was a great man and a person you'd be honored to know! Sorry for your loss.
@@blackgold2029 Thank You he was incredibly person that always kept me laughing even when he wasn’t trying to be funny
@@darrinjohnson9412 you're welcome and that means he had a true gift! Sounds like a person I wish I could have known. Peace and blessings to you!
That's so funny! Reminds me of when my own grandpa's time came near, he said he wanted to be cremated with his ashes spread in the sea because he spent so many years eating fish that it was time for the fish to eat him!
Granny u are so beautiful 🐘😊 that's so sweet of u all giving her that special wish.
So Beautiful!! Yes make memories while they are here.🥲
My Maternal Grandma passed away in 2019, she was the BACKBONE of the family, when she left, it was never the same, My grandad has been tryna make it. Cherish your Loved ones yall🥰
I'm sorry for your loss. You can be what she was to the family and keep love alive while honoring her memory.
May she Rest In Peace ❤️
I was super close to my maternal grandmother too and was devastated when she passed in 2014. Sorry for your loss 🙏🏽❤
Thanks you all💕
@@kelliontamason2009 thank you, may your peace be restored and your Grams continue to RIP💕
I was raised by my grandma... I lost her in 2017 she was 95... I miss her so much.. we shared birthdays... she was definitely the glue that held my family together ❤
My grandpa passed in 2020 right before everyone was aware of COVID. My most cherished memory was how I convinced him (a quiet, serious but loving man) to chaperone for my 1st grade class trip to Dorney Park. We got on the wild mouse ride and he hollered and cursed the whole entire ride, while I was enjoying the thrill. Never heard him yell like that. After the ride, he said he “almost had a heart attack” and just rode on the slow train ride around the park 😂.
😂😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣
Felt like I was there reading this!!
My Granny is in her golden years and I'll do anything to see her smile. I have seen her be selfless all my life even to those who have done her wrong.
Aww your never to old to get married she is absolutely beautiful
💀 it said she never had a traditional wedding, not she’s never been married
@@sonderson6363 I know what it said & I still said you're never too old to get married because a lot of people (that I've encountered) have said they were too old to get married or remarry
Such a beautiful bride she is
The look on her face... is absolutely priceless. How blessed at 94 to experience a moment she thought she had missed and how beautiful her "babies" that made it happen. This was awesome. 😊❤️
I miss my granny saying girl get in this kitchen and learn how to cook or hold ya ear so i don't burn u😊😅 those were the good old days🐘
Bc it was your own fault if you got burned. Lol
Yes Lawd. Memories. Priceless. 😊🎶🌹🌈
Monica, not the
"Hold your
(Pressing Comb) Ear?" ☺️
@@heathertea2704 yep😅
@@joycehutson6477 yes and that is exactly why i have my two grandbabies call me grandma 😊
I wear that tag proudly 🐘
My maternal granny was my best friend. My other grandparents died before I was born so she was all I knew, my everything. She was extremely active in our lives from birth. She lived to be 83. Alzheimer's was the culprit. After I moved away, I used to sneak into town for the weekend to take her to dinner and a movie without telling my parents I was in town. It was our little secret. 💗 I am so blessed that I have pictures of us together and handwritten cards that she sent me in the mail. I also have her book of recipes in her handwriting. I have memories that I will cherish for a lifetime.
Crying my happy tears over here.
Oh same, these wholesome tears!🥰
Same! These daggone allergies. Lol I'm misty eyed
My eyes are raining!
Awe so beautiful.
You’re right many would’ve dismissed Granny. That was nice that they listened to her.
My most cherished moment was going to our homeland Puerto Rico. Only my grandmother and I went. We danced, we ate, and even went on a nature trail together. I really forever cherish that moment with my grandma 🤍
This was beautiful and her grand daughter did a wonderful thing. I lost my grandmother years ago miss her every day. My foundation is gone.
My favorite thing I miss most is the holiday cookouts her laughing and giving me the neighborhood scoop.
My grandma was the neighborhood watch too!!!
We're lucky though, because they gave US the foundation.
She's beautiful. Dress is beautiful on her!!
I had an aunt get married at 80. Watched her walk down the aisle when I was like 10
My most cherish moment with my granny was when I passed the pic of my ultrasound of my first born.....she said "keech (Nevaa could pronounce my name) what you showing me" 😭😭 granny I'm pregnant her jaw dropped and she said hmmmmm....and grabbed me and hugged me.. grandparent's is a grandchild safe place🥰
This is heartwarming🥺
She is absolutely stunning! Kudos to this family and friends who made this happen! 😍❤️
She’s so precious!
So heartwarming! ❤ I love that they're loving on her while she's here. That beautiful elder seems like she is well loved, appreciated, and respected.
I saw that on Facebook she was so Adorable.
She looked just lovely in this gown! Just Beautiful!!!!!
Loved my granny, cherished time in the kitchen learning to cook. Family gathering s singing and having fun together.
My “Big Grammy” is still with us, 88 years young. (Her mother lived to 101 & we called her Lil Grammy). Big G, as short as she is lol, is the matriarch for sure. Widowed 25 years back. Still holds us down as a family: cooking, cleaning, looking after her great grandkids like she did her own 7 babies.
Just lost 1 of the 7 this spring, so that has been hard. Gram always has a smile for you though & a cold drink or a hot plate. Lives with my auntie who runs a daycare out of their home, which keeps her active.🙏🏽❤️Cherish them like EJ said!
That’s so sweet 🥰
This moment is precious and the grandmother looks FANTASTIC in that dress!!!!! Yes, it is very important to take pictures of loved ones . Now that they are no longer here, the pictures of them are comforting . They show the memories and good times we shared . I have numerous pictures of me with my grandmothers, aunt, mother, father and I am glad I do.
I love grandma. Shes 85 years old. Im glad i got to know her. My grandma on my dad side died. I still have so many questions to ask that i dont know how to get the answer to. Please charish your grandparents
I almost started crying…. This was so beautiful! Cherish your granny….I sure miss my granny🙏🏾🕊❤️
The part that you mentioned saying,
“We’re so busy being on our phones than making memories with our families.”
It’s so true. I have moments of remembering my grandfather coming to visit me on Grandparents Day when I was in second grade. I didn’t know if he was going to come or not, but when he made it I was so happy. I have more like celebrating the holidays and birthdays with my grandparents. As time passed, they’ve transitioned.
Thanks EJ for doing this.✨💙
My granny officiated me and my husbands wedding it was very special to have her do this for us as she had never done this before.
Never had a "big mama" even though she was alive until I was in my 40's. She just didn't like us. That's really cool though. God bless her and the family she is kind and loving to.
I'm so sorry. You handle rejection incredibly well. God bless you!
I’m sorry about that
My kids will probably never meet their grandma or grandad. My dad died at six. My mom's health is fading away. I don't have kids yet. So. Yeah. But, at least I have good memories of them both. Yah's blessings to you all. Edit: I pray that my mom lives for years to come, but it's not looking well. She has cancer, I think. The doctors aren't calling it that, but it probably is.
@@memefaison6007 May the Lord Bless you and yours. And when it's time for babies, keep the memories alive for them. Love and comfort and Blessings to your Mom. Strength to you both. ⛪🔯🙏💜😇🙅👍
My most cherished memories from visiting my grandma in Memphis, TN was her breakfast. Biscuits and gravy with mini hamburger patties. Her carmel cakes and pretty much anything my grandma cooked made me feel loved and at home.
Amen, some of the best grannies are from Memphis, TN!! 😊
My Big Mama lived in Memphis too!
My grandma was a BOSS !!! 80 years old speedign down the highway with a cigeratte cussing you out and giving you the bird for driving too slow, making her late for bingo. Annie E didn't care, she would tell you about yourself in one breath and love one in the next....man I miss her.
Too bad my aunt is holding all the pictures hostage
What the hell? My grandma was named Anne too and she cussed although a Jeehovahs Witness and talk crap too and told everybody’s business! And you aint say shyt about it. Lol. PS I got the pictures
My grandma got me addicted to orange slices candy and Vernors ginger ale. My Grandpa would always encourage me to keep doing what I'm doing and he left to be 100. Is a blessing to have memories to cherish I just wish that I could have taken more photos with them while they were here.
My grandma was 79 when she passed from complications brought on by Alzheimer’s. I would give ANYTHING to have a moment such as this…ANY type of moment with her, to be quite honest with you. I was blessed enough, however, to be raised by her, so she instilled all of the values that only someone from her generation could give. I have so many great memories with her that I don’t even know where to begin with sharing them with you. I will say she was the original Madea before Tyler Perry came about, gun in the purse and all. She was the type that would tell you exactly how she felt about you with zero f*cks given. Even though she had a strong mouth and could curse like a sailor, she was also the type to give you her last if you needed it. Just don’t piss her off, or she would be hell on wheels to you from that moment on. Would permanently forget your name and everything. 😒
My Nana was the most beautiful, magical, and funny lady. I have so many great memories. She passed at 94 in 2018 and passed being a great great grandmother. My favorite if when I used to say “Nana your shirt is unbuttoned.” And she would say “girl I’m trying to catch!” As in catch is a new grandpa 🤣. I miss her something fierce!!
My grandparents had a full decorated church wedding ceremony and reception after 60 yrs of marriage. The daughters were bridesmaids and the sons were groomsmen. We bought them every over the top decoration my grandma wanted (even though she told us it was too much for our weddings) Lol. Grandma loved it!! Grandpa just showed up.
Love this!
My grandmothers were absolutely loved and they loved to the end. We were blessed enough to know when their time was coming to a close and say goodbye. Most people don't get to leave so gracefully. My father's mother made her wish clear to see all of her living/born children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren before she passed and we made it happen.
I was only 10 when my Granny passed. I didn't realize how strong she was until I was an adult. This was a woman who was a widow with seven kids. She left the country and moved to the city during segregation. All of her kids (except one who was mentally ill) pitched in collectively to support the household. One of my favorite memories was watching TV with my Granny. She would sit in her rocking chair, and I would sit by her feet. I also loved her soft hair, and the way that she smelled. I love you Granny.
She was what I call “gangster”, some young folks wont even move out of the way and they know a car is coming …
I have so many Beautiful memories of my Grandmother 💕but she didn’t believe in taken pictures so we had to sneak them in !! Bless her heart she lived to be 99 yrs old still living in her home her wig was on backwards but she lived out every moment! So Last week I printed out all of the pictures of me and my granddaughter so she can see and have those memories of us
Who would thumbs down this video? Clearly they didn’t have a loving granny like some of us did, this is a unforgettable moment in all of their lives 😍
indeed they were raised by wolves
That was a beautiful moment, but I had my great grandmother she’s crossed over now 💔
Beautiful 🥰🥰
This is amazing 👍 the best thing I've ever scene so so wonderful!!!
I basically grew up with my grandma til about 3 years old when I started school and even then I would bug my mom to go there almost every weekend. I have so many memories with her in the garden or singing hymns or watching her soaps. Even when she was getting sick and going, I would always kiss her hello and goodbye. Once I was in a rush and left without doing it. She actually called my mom and made me come back to give her the kiss lol.
Man, I love her so much!!! I miss her beyond words 😢
I don't necessarily have good memories with my biological grandparents. My paternal side is estranged and essentially non-existent. My maternal grandmother passed away before I was born and that's probably the one that leaves me biggest hole. I have so many questions that I'll never know the answers to or things I'll never experience. That's not to say I didn't have a "grandma". That woman was in my life from the age of 6 months to when she passed, I was about 10. I loved that lady and my fondest memory will forever be her attempting to comb my hair...with my tender headed self and us watching her shows together. I feel people my age and younger just stopped respecting their elders and I can't stand it because you still have yours. Don't take them for granted.
Absolutely 💯
I have a lot of good memories with my grandparents almost all taking place on Black Friday because I spent the night at their house alot when i was little Thanksgiving night like
get breakfast at their favorite dinner.
staying up and watching Jeopardy with my grandma.
my granddad trying to teach me to golf.
My grandma teaching me to make popcorn in a pot.
Go to the movies with them.
Seeing a musical with my grandma.
My grandma telling me the story of how they met.
Im still pretty young so I've got time for more
When I was a kid my grandma use to make dolls out of clay for me, she would spend hours making them. I still have them, they're my favorites i own and every time I see them, they remind me of her. She really was the best person.
Out of clay like it says we was made . Did u learn how to make them ? My dad past almost 8 yrs ago he’s cremated . When u said clay dolls and ern for my dad popped into my head . I’d like one if u make it .
I’d like dirt from here though
I like EJ in her natural state. The most beautiful. Keep it up girl.
My grandmother basically raised me. She has been there through my highschool graduation, my college graduation and my wedding. Tears everytime. Just thankful she's alive to witness it with me.
You are so blessed 🙏💕
With my granny on my dad side: Sitting on the porch, drinking lemonade, listening to her spill the tea about her neighbors and family.
With my granny on my mom side: Waking up on Saturdays to go clean up the church, run her errands, and then her treating me to lunch for being her "roll dog" lol
Both of my grannys were the absolute best and I miss them both desperately. They both lived through the Civil Rights Movement, abusive relationships, heartbreak, being single mothers, and everything else, but you wouldn't have known from the way they loved and loved on ppl. 🤎🤎🤎
Awww. I would do this with my grandmomma too. We gotta treasure our elders in the village.
I wish I had more photos with my parents & grandparents. I hate that I never had the chance to know my grandparents as an adult. My paternal grandfather died before I was born, I lost the remaining 3 grandparents between the time I was 12 - 19.
This was a special day for this granny & her family, I'm happy they shared the moment with us, and reminded us to keep making memories & documenting them with our loved ones ❤
My fondest memory of my late paternal grandmother was of her cutting the meat in every of her meal into pieces. She would then call each grandchild to take a piece. I bawled at her wake (I was about 8 or 9) and danced like the holy spirit during the procession so much so that they let me lead the procession.
My maternal grandmother is still living and is the gentlest soul. She always had packs of white handkerchiefs which she made sure to give me each time she saw me because it's ladylike. I remember when I was about 7, I was burning up with malaria so she strapped me to her back and trekked hundreds of miles to the evening clinic to get me shots. She did this for many days till I was better.
I am so grateful to have these memories with these women! 💓
I showed this to my mom and now she’s crying. I’m not crying alone.. pfft 🤣
