I used to go with her when I was a child and marvel at the way some people filled out five or six cards all at once.
I struggled with checking one.
I wish she could have met my children, but she died too soon.

I adored my grandmother and spent many summers of childhood with her.

Thanks for sharing your memories and rekindling many of my own.

My grandmother is currently in a home and my great-grandmother died around ten years ago. I need to write my memories too. Thank you!

I miss both my Grans everyday. I lost one at 11 and one at 18.

She sounds so interesting and warm.
It’s so good your little man knew her.

We had that same tub of buttons, and Miss E has it now. When we look through it together I feel like a child again.

I hope you’re ok.

Big hugs.
