Last week I visited my family in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. I got to see my aunt and uncle, which was splendid, but the highlight of the trip was hanging out with my great-grandma. She's 90 now and has been going downhill a bit in the past few years. I'm not sure how much time she has left. I was the only one with her for a couple hours and we spent time watching the Twins-Tigers game on television and talking about baseball and my grandpa and her life as a mother and grandmother and her fondest memories and everything else - interspersed with some random naps of course. It was such a great thing. My great grandma has seen so much in her life, and for her to be sharp enough to share those memories with me, I'm truly honored. I can't wait to have a story as rich as hers that I can divulge to my great grandkids...
