Thank you for sharing Mom-Mom with us. I read my grandmother’s copy of Little Women (and now have her set including Old Fashion Girl). But I’m really touched how the book wasn’t just about handing down an object but a connection and a relationship. The detail of the strawberry jam back into the jar was just priceless. And how astounding that she owned/built a Sears home! I knew about them, researching for a story, and ended up purchasing a book of floor plans--it’s fascinating stuff.
There is so much security in the love of a grandparent. Because they love us so differently and without the pressures of raising us, they indulge us by listening and allowing us to explore the stories they tell - the history we learn from them.
I loved this piece, and the obvious sweet memories she has.
The shopping for funeral stuff and then a lunch out was hilarious and so rational. Loved it!!!!
I love your Mom-Mom and all that the two of you had together ~ a beautiful love between you and your great grandmother and a multitude of memories for you. I hope that our granddaughter will have wonderful memories of my husband and I ~ we have such great love for her.
It's a very special gift when two generations (and generations apart) share a love as the two of you did. The photo of the two of you is a keepsake to cherish!
I also read Little Women and loved it! And ~ my parents had dear friends who had a Sears home built! I loved that home!!
Thank you for sharing the love that the two of you held for each other. It is beautiful!!!

The solace of grandparents cannot be overstated.

I’ve never known anyone else who knew about the Sears houses! That’s so great!
I loved going to that home with my parents ~ I was fascinated that it was a Sear's home!!!
