I've been a Way Back Wednesday slacker for some weeks now. This due to the fact of my lack of Way Back Wednesday material, since my parents still have all the good stuff. I was excited to find a picture for this week's assignment in the one book I have, so here we go.
This week,
The Kept Woman, wants us to get a little serious as we'll share pictures of those who we've lost through death or those we've simply lost contact with.
This is my Great-Granny from my mother's side. (I'm the little one being held by my Papa, my Granny to his left, my Great-Granny, my Mom and my Dad.) She is the only Great-Grandparent I ever met in my lifetime. Most of them were already gone before I came along. I was very young but I remember a few Christmas trips and seeing her sitting in "her chair" smiling - that's about all I can remember other than pictures. From what my Mom tells me, my Granny is just like her and knowing that tells me she was an amazing woman.
I don't have any photos of my Dad's Grandmother. But, I specifically remember the night my Grandmother got the call from South Carolina that she was gone. We lived next door at the time and that moment we went over and I saw my Grandmother's face buried in a pillow crying is what I always see first when I think about my Great-Grandmother's death.
Although, I don't have a picture handy. I recently lost a childhood friend in a tragic accident in December. I still see her face. I remember those fun, childhood times. They won't go forgotten.
Did you play???
