This is my dad's mom. My grandfather died when my father was 4 years old from throat cancer.
My grandmother died when I was 10 years old, I don't have many memories of her anymore. One memory that has always stayed with me is that she always gave me a few cents when we went home, she always said here child these are my last cents. And I always thought that was so pathetic that I always put the money back on the cupboard, because I was afraid she wouldn't have any money otherwise.
You were sweet even as a child. Lovely story and story telling, Vera.
My great grandfather used to find a coin behind one of our ears every time we would visit I think money meant something more in those times, so the giving of it was very special. Beautiful page.
