I was blessed to have one of those special folks in my life, too. She was 'Ma Cook', and that's what almost everyone in the community called her. She loved everyone, and everyone loved her, and I believe I got my creative streak from her. She was a great role model for me.

I missed out on the things that are so special, the family all around that you had. We did see my Dads Mother a couple times a year, and I have those memories. I want to be the Grandmom to Amelia that I didn't have, and I think I'm off to a good start! Just for you Dot, I'm gonna hang some laundry on the clothesline this weekend!!

I think you have touched many hearts today. My grandparents lived next door to me and then my grandma lived with us after my grandpa died. I didn't think I could go on when she passed away, I was in the 5th grade. She was probably one of the most special people that has ever touched my life, so I can totally relate to your story.
