Figurines & Memories

Every time I see this figurine on my night stand I always think about my Great-Grandma Ruby. She past away last December & I've missed her a lot. It's funny how you don't realize how big of an impact somebody makes on your life until they're gone & you wish you could have had more time to tell them how amazing they really were. I admire her so much, I think by remembering all the grace, beauty and poise she had helps shape me into the young woman I am growing up to be. I was so happy that after her funeral I got to take this figurine home from her house. Ever since I was little I always loved staring at it & holding it in my hands. It reminds me of Scarlett O'Hara from Gone with the Wind, which is one of my favorite movies of all-time. Just like Scarlett my Grandma Ruby was a strong woman. I cherish this figurine and the memories of my Grandma it brings to me.
