This weekend I was in Chicago to see The Book of Mormon (hilarious musical). My hometown is Racine, WI and Racine is right in the middle of Chicago and where I currently live. When we left Chicago this morning I decided to make a quick stop in Racine to do something I should have done a long time ago. My Grandma died 11 years ago and besides the day she was buried I have never gone to the cemetery to visit her.....until today that is. Today for my act of kindness, my wife and I walked around the cemetery for a solid hour trying to track down my grandparents. With the help of my Aunt over the phone we were eventually able to find them. I never met my Grandpa (he died six years before I was born) but I was very close with my Grandma. She was the Grandma who never said "no." I just remember having so much fun whenever I was with her. And, of course, she always had candy in her purse! She was such a great woman and I miss her very much. It was more emotional than I thought it would be to be around their graves. I guess being so close to them made me realize how much they are missed. However, I was very happy that I went to see them. I definitely won't be waiting another 11 years before the next visit.
