But I want you to know how much I loved Bonne-maman. She was the sweetest, kindest, most loving person. It made me mad how the rest of the family treated her like a servant. She is certainly reaping a great reward in heaven for her kindness. I treasure the sweater she knitted for me and the purse she helped me crochet. She was sunshine in my life during my stay with your family. I will always remember her with tender feelings of love and gratitude.

But the little roads are very narrow with lots of hedge roads, making it VERY difficult to turn around just as you described. Loved reading this post! So fun! Your descriptions are great. You'll have to post about Bamburgh Castle next. We enjoyed our visit there. Would love to see your pictures. You are such a talented photographer and writer and friend. Lots of love.

Like my cousin whose husband just died--I have been texting her and trying to call her and mailing her cards this past year, but no response. At the funeral she hugged me and said, "I have not been able to call or write this whole year." Even though she was not the one with the brain tumor, she was a casualty of the situation, too. Your post is a good reminder of all that we do not know about others as they face things that we do not know and can't ever completely comprehend.Myrnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06450610418971329885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4926741499062285039.post-64504433243932551842016-09-22T19:58:08.881+02:002016-09-22T19:58:08.881+02:00You were at the right place at the right time with...You were at the right place at the right time with the right skills to help!
