The words "her hands, still young and strong . . ." remind me of what a wonderful thing it is to have photographs to bring us back in time as even our memories of times when we were there fade over time. And, I must admit that your sentiments in this piece made me think about the photographs I've seen of my own grandmother as a young mom. Thanks for such powerful and lovely words.Mardiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12237463317290624819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1655642224492475447.post-16154346608628258822011-07-26T17:01:20.608-04:002011-07-26T17:01:20.608-04:00What wonderful words you chose to talk about your ...What wonderful words you chose to talk about your grandmother, Michelle. My grandma died in August 4 years ago...just after turning 99. I miss her almost every day. You inspired me to try writing about her.

I've been doing some of my own reflections of older relatives, & hadn't thought to imagine what might happen because of the time in the photo (third paragraph). I liked that part especially, & the imagining what could happen if we could go back in time, to talk, eye to eye!Linda Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14983144542632353870noreply@blogger.com
