My mother's sisters kept their memory alive ---- because of their stories, I felt like I knew them better. I am trying to do the same thing for my own nieces and nephews --- :-)H.

And what wonderful pictures of gratefulness you drew in this post. It's a whole lifetime of hard work, persistence day in and day out. Because of them, you can look back on their lives and look down at your grandchild and smile with a joy that connects through and through. That smile is worth a thousand words. I can be that for my children and one day theirs too, as you are there now!
