Me & Pops at a cemetery in Evanston, IL
My Dad and I are cheesing for my Mom as she takes a picture of us at the cemetery visiting my grandmother's grave.
She passed in 2005. This was my father's mother. She lived to be 94 years old. She worked as a domestic for the family that started Motorola Cellphone (yes! that one) but she worked with them until she was 88 years old.
Unfortunately she was not given retirement money so my father and his siblings had to pay for her health costs and other expenses but fortunately she was in good health up until her last few months of life.
Having her as a grandmother taught me to be a DOER and not to complain much for she had to sacrifice to take care of 5 kids without a husband. That is commendable in my eyes!
