I only really knew my mom's mom but she was a fantastic woman and both my sister and I talk about her alot. The poor woman gets the blame for all our crazy adventures. She was couragous, funny and way ahead of her time.<BR/><BR/>If we decide to go travelling around the world, or climb a mountain or do Ironman we tellOrdinarylifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06136274266634314394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3962496983614459545.post-25655331896228394812009-02-19T11:35:00.000+02:002009-02-19T11:35:00.000+02:00Fantastic comments guys.Lynette, it seems that the...Fantastic comments guys.<BR/><BR/>Lynette, it seems that the way we remember our parents has little to do with choices: it just emerges.<BR/>I was quite surprised to see what came up about them for the One Word Tag game.<BR/>It forced me to crysallize what my main impression is of them.<BR/><BR/>Yes Mel, I wish you had more memories of them too - I can see why you would feel you were robbed.<BR/>allie.https://www.blogger.com/profile/05175208232493745932noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3962496983614459545.post-68801913307939993002009-02-19T09:35:00.000+02:002009-02-19T09:35:00.000+02:00Wonderful post Allie, and it also made me think ve...Wonderful post Allie, and it also made me think very deeply. My dad is an alcoholic, my mom is also a very strong woman, sometimes I think that is their survival strategy. It also made me think of how I would like to remember them one day. My dad is one of the most intelligent people that I have ever known...and I choose to remember that about him.Lynette Jacobshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00008748483680810943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3962496983614459545.post-20733977632951155932009-02-19T09:07:00.000+02:002009-02-19T09:07:00.000+02:00You guys are awake too early....Its an amazing pos...You guys are awake too early....<BR/><BR/>Its an amazing post mom.
