Oh yes she was, and is. I didn't mean to put a downer on your post. It's just where my mind went. I do think your tokens are lovely. We do care about our own, don't we, and sometimes physical things are a nice way of showing it. I sent my nephew home with a big tupperward container of leftovers on the weekend - he's just moved out of home to Melbourne and I know how much I would have loved a container of home cooked food when I was that age. Small tokens of big love.

Your comment was not a downer. Legacy is so much on my mind these days. I worry that when the time comes, my passing and my husband's passing will bring pain to my granddaughter and my children. I want fond memories and not pain to be the experience. It sounds to me that you are in that place. Your grandmother did a good job apparently in offering you the gift of legacy. It must have been a great love she had for you. These thoughts are not downers...they anchor us, and give us roots.
