Mummo


My granny was a woman of principle.

She
1) Never drank wine, because she hated the idea of the strange feet smashing the grapes.
2) Never read a book, because her mother said it was pure silliness for a girl.
3) Never bought anything from a shop, which had a very, very far and distant relationship to the Communist Party.
4) Never forgot her home, which was cruelly taken away from her during the war.
5) Never forgot my grandpa who died 35 years before her.

She always remembered to
1) Feed the cats, hedgehogs and her tame crow called Aaro.
2) Make so much food nobody could eat.
3) Watch The Bold and the Beautiful, because Ridge was such a hunk.

She had the most beautiful brown eyes.
She had the most unique talent to tell stories and make everybody laugh.
She was a woman who made the priests blush.
She was the woman who raised me.

I'm sorry, this post was too lovely. Anything I say will undoubtedly lower the tone. So I won't say anything.

Honest.
