tyler's gram

the very first time i ever met mary georgi providence, tyler's maternal grandmother, the following occured:

it was a warm july day. we drove up into her 1940's driveway, beside her 1940's home, and there she was:

one little bitty woman.

a pair of old school metal scissors.

one row of hedges...

and 80+ decades of full Italian/Catholic genes coursing through her blood.

she was like no one i'd ever met...to this day, she remains a character all her own.

i love her for her time-capsule life. i love her for the fact that she fed her meter-man cookies when he came to read her meter.

event the UPS guy was privy to her 100% delicious, home-cooked italian food.

no bakery in the world can hold a candle to mary's baked items...hers are OUT OF THIS WORLD.

she made them my hand. by scratch. by memory.

amazing.

she's in a home now...and from what i hear, nearing Heaven's gate.

i'm going to read the Bible with her today with Adelaide. tyler will meet up with us later.

pray for her if you can.
