I’m continually fascinated with memory and perspective. How it changes and is informed so differently from person to person. This is such a lovely way to remember family. My grandfather is still alive. He’s in his eighties and going strong, but I feel that he knows something he’s not sharing. Last time I spoke with him he said people his age just take it day by day. Something he’s never said before. What I remember most about him from my childhood is that he likes cereal with fruit in it. No one can be in the house when he takes his naps except for grandma. If us kids came over while he was sleeping grandma would play Scrabble with us in the backyard. I’m horrible at Scrabble. Thanks for sharing your thoughts in Harriet. You and Patricia are the reason – THE REASON – I started coming to this site regularly. Because of your involvement I now come to the site often and take in other features work offered here. Just thought I needed so say that in case they didn’t already know. Mad Love, Manda What a beautiful post. I’m continually fascinated with memory and perspective.
