[QUOTE="CottageFarm, post: 1145772, member: 16552"] My Grandpa died when I was just 3. My grandparents adored each other, and Grandma still called Grandpa her sweetie, so I can only imagine how crushing it was for her when she lost him. My Mom didn't want Grandma to have to be alone, and she couldn't stay as school was starting and my 4 older siblings had to get home, (and my Mom probably had to go back to work), so she left me with Grandma for awhile, maybe a month. Even though I was so little, and I don't remember most of it, one very clear memory I have is having a big bowl of Pasta Fagiole for dinner while my Grandma taught me how to spell my name. She would make letter shapes with her hands, point to her eyes for an "I". Silly stuff, but it stuck with me. I remember her teaching me about cooking, too. Mostly her love for it and for good food in general. And she would cuss in French and Italian and occasionally English, depending on just how ticked off she was. :lol2: Unfortunately, she passed away 7 years later when I was only 10. [/QUOTE]
