dear gramma zelma,
i kept getting the sense that you were standing right there behind me while i scrubbed those dinner dishes tonight…
but it was only an occasional breeze carrying a here and there whiff of those little pungent pink roses perched on the sill…
your scent…
kinda ironic…since your advice to me when i married that “tall drink of water” was to “never leave dishes in the sink overnight…they’ll always be right there waiting for you in the morning!”
just between you and me…
i haven’t exactly been all that faithful in following your advice…exactly…
but i got those dishes done tonight!
and i loved having the scents of you all the while…
very sincerely,
me
p.s.
my favorite “just married” picture…of you and the man you’ve faithfully washed dishes for…for 73 years!
