This is my grandmother and she was the most special person in the world to me. She raised my sister and me and whenever my father tried to take us back to Indiana with him, she would just bawl. He could never refuse her anything, so we were always left behind. I am so glad of that because being raised by her was so much better, even though she dragged us to church every Sunday, every revival meeting, and every special church anything going on. She always made sure we had special clothes for things like Easter. Every year I had a new Easter outfit and new shoes. She helped my grandfather on the farm and put out a big garden and did a lot of canning and churning butter and you can imagine how much she must have done when her children were growing up...especially since it was mostly boys. She loved her family and her family loved her dearly.
