I miss my granny.
My granny let me indulge in bouts
of self-pity without reproach. I miss her hugs. I miss her wisdom. I miss her
evil, old lady ways. She was direct and encouraged me to speak my mind.
Hopefully I have refined the art to also include a little bit of tact though!
She was educated in a way that did not include books. She didn’t graduate high
school but knew everything about plants, animals, general ailments and I don’t
think she was afraid of anything. I enjoy history and nature and she gave me a
connection to those things. She has a deep pride in family and genealogy. I
loved that. I have her eyes and my daughters has her mother’s hair. She lives
on in us all and I can’t wait to see her one day.
I see a little of Ella in this picture!!
On her wedding day.
