Grandmother

Poor Granny always wanted the entire family to gather in a reunion!  And not just immediate relatives like her children, "the Fab Four," but also all nieces and nephews. Old neighbors and teachers who had taught her children, she wanted too!

Naturally this got old as she was after a while.  It was very hard to get us together, as we had our own lives to live.  Still we would try sometimes try, but inevitably some always could not attend.

These absences would cause her sadness for weeks, then she would start planning
the next one.  Of course, the same thing would happen over and over again!

She was over 90 when she died alone and stii clinging to her somewhat outdated feelings to the family that loved her dearly.


finally
all gather at her 
funeral
