Welcome to WEIRD and Wordless Wednesday!
Almost always weird, and sometimes wordless, too.
I almost forgot WW this week… OOPS! And it’s not too weird or wordless, today, either…
Today I’m missing my Great-Grandma, GG, as I called her.
She was called GG by most of us: my Dad called her GG because she is his Grandma Goodson; I call her GG because she is my Great-Grandma.
She is my kiddos Great-Great Grandma.
Having 5 generations of a family alive all at once is rare these days, and is something we count as a special treasure in our lives.
She would have turned 98 today.
My kiddos with me, GG (my great-grandma, in pink), my Grandma (my dad's Mom and GG's daughter in-law), and my uncle (my dad's youngest brother), in 2008.
This photo was taken during one of our visits to New Mexico in 2008, and was probably the last time that my GG really KNEW us when we visited her. We are very fortunate that my kiddos knew her, REALLY knew her, not just from photos or our stories, but from their own experiences and memories of her, and she really KNEW them up until the last year of her life. We have great memories with her, and my kiddos love her and miss her too. She passed away on August 9, 2010. I can’t begin to express what she means to me, and how much I miss her. I love you, GG, and I miss you bunches!
