Here is a picture of my Grandma Ada, I thought it would be nice to share with all 4 of my followers. :) I never met my Grandma, although I would have loved to! She passed away when my dad was very young! This picture was taken in 1947. I don't even know how old she is here. She has 1 sister who is still alive and lives in Arkansas. I've been contemplating writing her a letter, I just don't know where to start. I want to know all about my Grandmother, but I don't want to bring up sad/happy memories for my Great Aunt. The last time I saw my Great Aunt, I was probably 14 or 15 years old (that was 12 years ago!) and she was telling me and my Mom how much I looked like my Grandma Ada, that we have the same eye color, hair color, hair texture, and even the same expressions. She started to get watery eyes, and had to get up and leave because I reminded her so much of her sister. It made me sad too because I thought, there was a person alive, who I looked exactly alike, and I never got to meet her, never got to ask her about the things she liked to do, never got to find out anything about her, never got to find out if I act like her. It seems like no one wants to talk about her, and I don't want to be that pest that won't shut up about her... I guess I'll start with a letter to my Great Aunt Sue. I'll just tell her about all the things that I've been doing, and see where it goes from there. I'm going to work on the letter today. Hopefully she will respond quickly, and I'll share the letter with you all! (all 4 of you!)

I don't know you or your great aunt. But I think that's a great idea to send a letter to her to talk to her about your grandmother. It might be sad for her at first but I would bet the experience will be a positive one for the both of you. Who knows??? She might have a lot of stories to tell and have just been waiting for someone interested in hearing them.
Nice writing! I will be coming back!
