I just love reading these details about your family. It's so inspiring to see how many details you've gathered too!

Makes me wish I had asked my grandparents more questions 🙏❤️

Thank you so much, Jacq! I wish I had asked someone, too. I had to dig for this information. There was no one around to tell it to me. The amazing thing is, once I started researching, the info just came out of the woodwork - like it wanted to be found. ❤️

I loved reading your history and reflecting on my own resilience and strength. This post has inspired me to write about my grandmother who has been on my mind lately and motherhood in general. Thank you for your words!

Thank you so much, Orly! I'm so please to know this story spoke to you. I hope to read your grandmother's story on Sparks of Light someday.

What a powerful story about resilience! And you're right that it's more than what the dictionaries describe, love how you picked out the highest fruits.

Do the hard thing, great way to end. Thanks for sharing!
