September 28th - Toms River NJ
| Audrey is 12 years older than I am,
and has family memories I don't know about. It's
fascinating to listen to the tales of family history that
predate me. There is a picture of my maternal grandmother
who died just before I was born, and whose name, Barbara,
I was given. She has a look on her face that leads me to
think she is "up to something"! There are
stories about my mother and father that reveal a little
more of their character. There are memories that we can
laugh at now, but which were painful at the time they
happened. Our genes are quite fascinating! I "have" my mother's hands, my grandmother's build. There was a picture of my grandma and her sisters and I wonder what they were like. What sorts of things did they talk about and care about? Until today, I never even thought of my grandma having sisters. |
