Memories of my grandma from Cindy
Chloe was just grandma to me. I had a particularly special relationship with grandma. When I was growing up, she was always there for me. I knew I could call her and she would make everything right. Whether it was having me over for the weekend, or just talking to me on the phone. She never let me down.
Our family was practically raised in the bowling alley; grandma loved to bowl. At the age of 18 she saw that I had an interest in the sport, so of course, she had to buy me my first bowling ball. She was determined to make me a good bowler. Practice! Practice! Practice! When I got it down, it was tournament time! I traveled all over the state with her, having lots of bonding and talking time.
My proudest moment was in 1996 at the City Tournament. She had her best bowling outfit on, hair perfect, and her baby blue bowling shoes on. At that moment in time I thought I had made it!
With her help I shot my first 250 game and my first 600 series. I had won 1st place all events, and together we had won 2nd place in doubles. What an experience! She was so proud of me. She was telling anyone that would listen, "That's my granddaughter." That was a very special day for us. Up until this very day, if I mention her name in the bowling community everyone knows who she is, and I know she'd love that. In bowling, I'm not Cindy. I'm Chloe Conner's granddaughter, and I wouldn't want it any other way!
One of the funniest things I remember was her cooking. I thought that pumpkin pie was made only from a can. She taught me that most things have a dual purpose. She would get the biggest pumpkin my uncle had grown that year, and until it was time to be cleaned out and cooked, she would sit it on a chair at the back door so no one could break in. So I had learned yet another valuable lesson. Pumpkins make a great theft deterrent, and also an awesome homemade pie!!!
As she lay there in the tight grips of Alzheimer's disease, she looked me right in the eyes, eyes that let me know she knew who I was and said, "You behave yourself."
Grandma, I promise I will
Love, Cindy
