On top of that, her appendex burst when she was 16 (terrible thing back then) and she lost her overies. She got a job working in the OB/GYN at Tuscon Medical Center. It was because of her job there that she was able to adopt my mom and uncle when their respective mothers died during childbirth. (Adoption was much different in the 40's and early 50's). She taught me how to deal with adversity, how to love life, and how, sometimes, God works in mysterious ways.<br />Thanks for giving me a reason to reflect about her this afternoon!Michelehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10964706203762271736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6271473.post-57090716608130631622009-05-07T15:51:00.000-05:002009-05-07T15:51:00.000-05:00What an absolutely beautiful tribute to a woman wh...What an absolutely beautiful tribute to a woman who has helped to shape you into the lovely lady you are today, Sandra.

It seems like today someone who went through as much as she did would be in therapy for life, not working hard to take care of a family and pass on lessons to her loved ones. I think a lot of women were that way decades ago--working hard and being a pillar of strength. Nowadays, there seems to be so much "me, me, me" and desire for convenience. You are lucky to have had someone to teach you how to be such a good wife and mother!rebeccammhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08030493682308720578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6271473.post-18874453993325277762009-05-07T10:55:00.000-05:002009-05-07T10:55:00.000-05:00What a lovely tribute, Sandra.

After her I would have to say it was my Godmother. All our relatives, including my grandmothers, lived in Hungary, so they were not able to be an influence and my Godmother sort of took that role. She was a very forgiving, kind woman and I never heard her say anything bad about anyone. She was full of grace and I can remember many a time when I'd blown it that she would say, "Well, you live and you learn". Unfortunately her gift of sewing, she was a seamstress, did not pass onto to me, although goodness knows she tried to get me to learn.Susannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02757963698816530787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6271473.post-61339912217687425702009-05-07T10:22:00.000-05:002009-05-07T10:22:00.000-05:00beautiful tribute to your granny..

However, my grandfather did. The women in my life were always to busy for me, but gramp always talked to me and taught me things. He would point out ways 'real ladies' acted. Whenever he saw someting he approved of he'd lean over and tell me 'thats how a real lady speaks" or "a real lady is grace under pressure". I remember him reminding me after a tantrum "is that how a little lady acts?" His words were never harsh and I always wanted to impress him. He would encourage me to watch my gram and try to model her ways. He was the one who taught me to always be a lady.<br />TannaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6271473.post-6555239277347867152009-05-07T09:40:00.000-05:002009-05-07T09:40:00.000-05:00Hi Sandra!

I need to reflect and bring way more out. Mom was the strength in her family, the glue that held them together. She still is to this very day! I call her often to ask her how did you do this or that. I dread the day, that I'll no more able to ask her the questions. <br />Hugs and Love!Blessed Beyondhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12368956383267187995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6271473.post-26024983307290367922009-05-07T02:19:00.000-05:002009-05-07T02:19:00.000-05:00Beautiful post Sandra.
