Wonderful Life * photo album

A couple of years ago, my brother Greg surprised us all with the above

picture set in a very old fashioned frame. It is a treasure to me. This

is my father's mother - Doris Packard - a lovely lady. I was very unfortunate

that she died while I was in my teens.... I remember her as if it was yesterday.

Now that I am an adult.... and have learned from living, there are many

questions I would love to ask her.... someday I will Nana, I love you. Thank

you for teaching me values and for saving me from some of my bouts with

poison ivy..... and I will always remember the little kittens you had.... how

gentle and sweet with them you were...... and to this day I still have the

Barbie Doll clothes you made for my doll, and have passed them on to

my daughter...... you had so very many grandchildren.... and you had time

for each and every one of us......

Many say I look like her, but I am sorry dad, every time I look at this picture
I see you dressed up as a girl.......
