Angel of mine

My grandmother was a grand woman. When I was little I was always in awe of her regalness. She would always tell me to "keep my head up", "don't look down", "stand up straight", lol. She had a way with words too, with a vocabulary that would rival any Harvard professor. When she died on New Years eve of '09, it hit all of us hard. Needless to say, this blog fell off my radar. Over a year has passed but with each new year brings a new life. My youngest daughter may not have gotten the chance to meet her great grandmother but I promise to instill her "regalness" (and love for bridge :)
