My grandmother (Mema)on her 97th birthday on 21 Aug. She still lives alone in the house she and Pepa lived in for so many years. She's coming up to MO tomorrow (Sun) for about 6 wks. She's staying until after my 50th birthday and Jami's heart surgery. She is much weaker than last year, but 97, she's outlived all her family and Pepa's family. She's the matriarch of ours. A Southern woman through and through. I'm ready to give her a huge gentle hug and kiss. . . #lifeonosage #family #mema #97thbirthday #happybirthday #lovemyfamily (at Whitlock, Tennessee) https://www.instagram.com/p/Chw9Cn2LZC7/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
