Re: Remember Granny?
I lost two granddads and a grandma before I was born ..... the only memory I have of my other grandma that sticks in my mind was being taken to see her as she lay in bed shortly after having suffered a stroke, she died a few days later. I was 6 at the timeRe: Remember Granny?
I remember both my Grandmothers-but one died when I was young.Re: Remember Granny?
As to `being in service`-I remember a dear lady I used to walk with when I `rambled` when back home from University.Re: Remember Granny?
I never knew my paternal grandma. I spent Summers at Mom's mom in the country before the War (this was when people sent their kids out of the cities because of polio if they could). I remember helping feed the hens, gathering eggs, picking tomato hornworms off the plants into a jar of kerosene, and especially picking wild elderberries by the railroad tracks to make jam. Oh, innocent days ......Re: Remember Granny?
Only remember one of my Grandmas and unfortunately she was not a very nice person. Very domineering and thought the world revolved around her. She was my Mum's Mother and came to live with us at one point. To say it was hell on earth is an understatement. Eventually my Dad, who was a very gentle man, had to ask her to leave and after that she didn't have any contact with us......Re: Remember Granny?
I sat with my (maternal) grandma the night she died. I think of her constantly - as I do of my grandad, her husband. My greatest regret is my grandad died alone.Thread Tools | |
