My mother is 90 and I am her baby boy, now 62. In my last visit I set her up on Skype so we could see and talk with each other. I realized the 450 mile drive didn’t have to stop me from seeing her weekly. I also made a commitment to myself to use our Skype calls to talk about the legacy she is leaving with us. I want to capture more puzzle pieces of her life’s experiences and the values that drive her thoughts and actions.

A few facts:
90-year-old women who lives on her own. Volunteers twice a week. Attends church weekly.
Has three children, all married. Has 7 grandchildren, 5 married. Has 15 great-grandchildren, hence her family title “Gramma The Great XV”.

Q: What was the legacy your parents left you?

Tomorrow I will start my ‘Conversations with Gramma The Great XV’.
