The 4th grandparent lived till I was about 12, but she had Alzheimer's for as long as I knew her. I wish I had letters or other items...those are truly treasures.

She lives in North Wales and was my first pen pal. We still write several times a year, though she's not sure what she has to say anymore. At age 90, she feels like she's said it all - but still manages to fill a page with stories of her past.<BR/><BR/>Lovely post.Sayrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16350593991157139017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20550909.post-87367874084861162122008-11-17T00:49:00.000-08:002008-11-17T00:49:00.000-08:00Another wonderful entry!
