Great Grandma with Great Grandson (2010)
Yesterday she was smiling
And laughing from her chair
As I tried a magic show
Yesterday she watched me
Guardian of the cookies
While my parents were away
Yesterday she was telling tales
Of strong tea in Ireland
And riveting during the second war
Yesterday she danced a waltz
With my grandfather by her side
Only they could hear the music
Yesterday she rang her bell
To get Passover moving on
Cutting off our rambling talks
Yesterday she scolded us
Grandpa piggybacking me
Up the stairs and through the wall
Yesterday is what I hold
For the stories and the smiles
To help her legacy live on
Legends of Windemere 
This is so sweet, makes me recall what fun it was to be a child, and how meaningful my grandparents were to me. They practically raised me. I never knew my great grandparents and they never knew me 😦

This is wonderful, I was lucky enough to have known my great grandmother and my kids got to know both of their great grandmothers. These are wonderful memories and such a rare thing. Your son is very very lucky and much better off for the experience. Great job.
