#132 Mother's Day

Given it’s Mother’s Day it seemed like the appropriate time to do something that probably was long overdue, I visited my Grandmother’s grave. She passed away when I was away at college in 1992. She was born in 1908 along with her twin brother and had 8 siblings in all, two of which passed away when they were children. My memories of her are of a very independent Polish woman who was an avid reader– especially on history. She was a sports fan, and I remember her teaching me how to shoot pool. I also remember her driving around many of the other elderly people in her building so they could get their errands done. Below is my favorite photo of her, to me it says a lot about the type of person she was.
