this week my grandmother, josefina, is visiting.
i love my grandmother.
she is a worrying, set-in-her-portuguese-ways, passionate, quick to speak, very slow to listen, opinionated, and persistent 84 year old woman (sound like someone else you know).
she also loves deeply and unconditionally, is generous with her life (she gave hers up to raise me), hard-working, and tells the tallest tales ever!
she has the softest hands, the sweetest smile, and the jolliest laugh.
i absolutely adore her!

paige
you are both too beautiful.

Have fun with her. That is such a cute picture of the two of you.
I know I would adore this beautiful real woman.
She sounds like my Italian mother in law, who is 84.
And I give her so much credit in saving me.
Except I don't think I tell her enough.
Enjoy your time together.
Many reasons to love this lovely lady. Hope you have a blast together.
She sounds like a character - in a good way. Not too surprising since she's related to you!
