Memories of Grandma
making little girls feel special
when we came to tea.
My Grandma Rose was an amazing woman, who made each of her grandchildren feel precious to her. It's a gift few have. This is one of the two photos I have of Grandma with me. My older sister Janie and I were having a tea party with Grandma. I cherish this photo.
Grandma survived the death of three sons in WWII, and her husband in a trucking accident, all within a few years. She was a strong woman who raised the remainder of her children as a single parent, including my mother, the baby of the family.
We lost Grandma when I was eight years old, but she has never left my mind. I've always considered her my guardian angel. If you look closely, you can almost see her wings.

What beautiful memories of your grandmother..she must have been an amazing woman...and it does look like she has wings :)
I definitely see her wings! In our unique living situation of having our Grandchildren living in our home for the time being, I see the interaction of Grandma, or Na as she is referred to here in Spadoville, and the four children. I have witnessed amny a tea party. Every child has had her presence throughout any kind of triumph or trauma. I hope thatb they have the same kinds of loving memories that you have when they get older and raise families of their own.
This page today is a very pleasant place to be.
Peace
I love your sharing of Grandma Rose today. Grandmas are special. I too, lost my Granny at age 8. Tea parties are special, too.
You were blessed with a caring and wonderful grandmom. Thank you for sharing her with us. Lovely picture.

I love that you remember your Grandma as you do, with her wings. I think we all have such great memories of Grandma's and Grandpa's. Thank you for sharing.
what a great photo of grandma! She must have been a tough woman to go thru all that sorrow and raise her daughter alone.
Oh I could see her wings. How wonderful to have tea parties with Grandma.
Her wings are clearly visible but I also see them on you and your sister. What a beautiful tribute to your grandma--and as a grandma myself, I can only hope that my own beloveds will remember me one day as you've remembered your grandma.
