I only met my Nana when I was 4 and when my father died and then she died when I was 6 yrs old but her memory and times spent in her veg garden and her kitchen watching her cook (during a time of 'war' rationing) are as vivid as if they were yesterday. Loved this write and doesn't Tom Hanks always give one something special from his paint brush, that patchwork quilt is phanominal!!! to both, Zy x Opposites exist by virtue of each other

We just take it that they are there until one day they are not, but it must be nice to have something to hold that was part of who and what they were...Tony (potleek) Time is the most precious thing we have, but we are the poorer if we can't spend a little time on a friend

But did know my grandpa on my mom's side. He was gruff and showed no patience for anyone, only me. I think he felt sympathetic of a child who lost her mommy at 7 (his daughter) Marie she was outgoing and loved people. Then she contacted TB and was never the same again. Sorry to say, I never really knew my mom well, she was always gone to a sanitarium or hospital. The little that I did see her, she was withdrawn and soulful. I still wish my kids could have met her and my daddy too. Mariaxx "Life without God is like an unsharpened pencil - it has no point."
