Dear Norby-
Today is your mommy’s birthday, as well as your great
grandmother’s. Your mom and I are both fortunate to share birthdays with other
great family events. You’ll never meet your great grandmother, but I am sure
you will hear some tidbits from her life as you get older. One thing to
remember, is that she was Grandmother, and not Granny or Grandma, a very formal
lady. She was well mannered, and expected the same from those around her – I
cannot even begin to count how many times she would remind me to say please and
thank you. She drove a yellow Volkswagen Beetle, drank vodka tonics, and walked
to and from the Stop and Shop that was near her apartment. She visited us every Christmas, and was a
very good knitter- Grandmother use to make us Fishermen’s sweaters. You’ll know
her through us, as she helped us become the people we are, and will help you
become the man you will be as we help pass along pieces of her directly to you.
Keep in mind you come from a good heritage (at least on your
momma’s side)
