What a beautiful, moving, true tale. I know that I have felt this way about my Grandmother after she passed. And now I see family resemblances with my kids - my son's feet are the same as my sister's, who is diabetic. I know that if I lose her too early, that thought alone gives me such great comfort. Thanks you for such a beautiful post and a wonderful site! I look forward to reading more.

I feel the same way about my grandfather. He died when I was born and I feel like I missed out on the most interesting person in the world. I still love to listen to stories about him 35 years later. -NTA

59 is a pivotal age for women on my family, my mom and grandma became grandparents at 59 (both times b/c of me). My ggma died at 59 as well (I had nothing to do with that one). It's amazing how family traits show so strong.

Amazing post.

I have a grandmother who had recipes for every ailment - soar throat, sniffles, headache, broken heart...

Unfortunately, since she's now 89, she tends to forget key ingredients or use ingredients that just should have been thrown away like 4 years ago.

Thanks for sharing these memories! Made me think back to eating my own grandmother's food (when it was edible)!

Jane,

I didn't get to read this the first time around... What a fantastic woman your Grandmother sounds like! I am glad you found her again in your sister.
Hope you feel better soon!

Feel better!

In my family, it's the sweet tomato relish. I used to make it with my Grandmother at the end of every summer. When she died, the only thing I wanted was her food chopper. I still make the relish every year, and when that manual chopper comes down from the shelf, I smile at the memories.
