I have been looking around the net and reading some articles that are up today and found one about a 95 year old woman named Amelia Lopez that has a blog running. She talks about her life and the differences between then and now. It made me think of my great grandmother and how I would give anything to have her memories written down somewhere to read and pass on. All my life I meant to do this and also had wanted to make a video tape of her talking but of course never did. She died a few months ago and I sit and go through her pictures wishing we had labled the back of them because I'm not sure who that is standing next to her on vacation. There are so many stories she told that make me smile when thinking of them and there are so many stories that I know I can't remember the whole thing, or who it was. She had a steel trap for a mind. She would start a story with what day of the week it was and the weather. In another 2 months she would of been 100. She lived through huge changes in our world and had opinions on all of it. I'm just rambling because I miss her and wish I had taken more time to be with her and listen closer.
