These really are two different emotions and it is unfortunate that both could have applied to her. She must have had a very hard life.Beatrice P.

Loved by you. It may be why she wanted that clay bust you made of her. Here was a gift that was made in her likeness. Made by one of her grandchildren...not bought in a store or ordered through catalogs.<br />The depression changed people. My hubby and I have heard stories from our families, too...all of hardships and of very little to enjoy being alive.<br />This is a sad story, Emma...but I believe your gift was special to your grandmother because she asked you to let her keep it. I wish you could have gotten back after your grandmother passed away. This was a bond between you and her~JFMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09021461504951465311noreply@blogger.com
