Davina!

Thank you for this journey of discovery about you! No doubt you have not only a heart of gold, but a kind heart and it comes through your writings!

I enjoyed this very much!

Thanks again!

Be back soon,

Wow! We have a lot in common. I am a nature lover who loves writing, silence, and my grandmother (who also passed away). Thank you for sharing and strengthening the connections of the blogosphere. Stacey / Create a Balance’s last blog post..Ten Ways To Create a Balance While Commenting on Blogs

Hi Kim.
It’s nice to see you here. Oh yes, I’d love to read about your grandmother AND see that picture. That is an interesting story about your home. Your grandmother likes to keep you close by doesn’t she? I love grammies :-)

Thank you for sharing this – and so beautifully written.

I was 4 in 1972 ;-)

My grandmother was one of my favorite people in the world. And I just knew I was her favorite grandchild. She passed away in 1989 (close to yours) and not a day goes by that I don’t think about her. I have a wonderful photo of her picking her raspberries in a red dress. Maybe I should write a post about her. And it’s strange – my Mom inherited her house and now that my Mom just passed I co-own the same house with my brothers. Maybe I’m supposed to live where she did. Ok – I’m totally thinking out loud here.

Thanks Davina

Hi Jannie.
Well, there’s one thing that I WISHED we shared — that talent for singing that you have girl! I can’t imagine you not having a heart of gold.

Hi Natural.
I don’t remember having this picture taken. But I remember grade 3 — I had a crush on a boy then ;-) Do you have a big family? I guess that could work both ways — you could get lost in the crowd — or need to hide from it. I hope you can find some of those memories.

Hi Robin.
Oh my, not another heat wave! This must be one of the hottest summers that you can remember. I hope Mother Nature eases up soon. Central Canada is experiencing another winter storm. Talk about extremes.

I glad you enjoyed reading this. That memory of my mother telling me this is one that I hold on to. There were not a lot of good ones, but this one stands out. That’s really a shame about the disconnect with your elders. I think a lot of things are taken for granted and not spoken. From what I know of you, you are a good daughter to your mother. I’m sure the words are there.
