merry christmas from grammy

i don't usually believe in this kind of stuff, but just wow.

so charlie and i are wrapping presents and setting stuff up under the tree, making sure we didn't misplace anything. it's 11something, O didn't get to sleep til around 10 because she was so wired. and then we hear this alarm start to go off back in bailey's room. and it's loud. so we're freaking that it's going to wake up nibs. it's one of those loud alarms that accelerates and sounds like a bomb about to go off. it stops, he comes out of the back room and says "stupid sony never die alarm clock"- and i stared at the clock. midnight. merry christmas from grammy. that was her alarm clock. my mom and i randomly ended up with belongings from the nursing home when she died, and that has been at my house since october 1st sitting in a box of random stuff in bailey's room, i've never touched it and it has never made a noise until now.

i just started crying and laughing. that would be her, i can just see her face cracking up. she said it to me first, i didn't even realize it was christmas yet. she used to love to call me first in the morning on my birthday and stuff. it's still got me messed up in the head right now. thanks gram. i didn't cry today making your brownies, but you got me anyways.
