Yes, do take a look at those journals again, and transcribe them. I sometimes like to think that, taking the broad perspective of the entire journal, a bigger picture will emerge, even though the subject is someone with whom you are so familiar.Jacqi Stevenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03471698670217119444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5034998384799920884.post-72839239663781452962019-05-13T01:08:56.511-07:002019-05-13T01:08:56.511-07:00Well, that's a story you'll never forget, ...Well, <i>that's</i> a story you'll never forget, Miss Merry!

Her life was also very different from most of the women in her huge rural SC clan. And she kept a few journals; most of these were lost, but I retrieved a few. Just yesterday the thought popped into my head that I should take another look at them, and transcribe some of the hopeful or tender passages.

As we sat in the pew, her water broke, and we made a beeline for the hospital where my grandson was born, six weeks early, two hours later. Quite the surprise and now he shares his Mother's Day birthday with his other gramma, too!Miss Merryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10691152819794851137noreply@blogger.com
