With each new child born another member of the generation takes their first breathe. This story is about a family that is looking back at their lives and what they will leave behind. Sometimes the most important things you can leave behind to the next generation is hope, read for inspiration.

Key Takeaways:

• As 2016 melted into 2017, I knew the season for bad news wasn’t over for me. My 97-year-old Grandma became ill a few days prior and, though she had rallied many times before, it felt like her time was coming.
• My Grandma no longer recognized me, but she was delighted to see 6-month-old Evelynne and chat with 3-year-old Vivianne. She knew my brother’s voice and the look on her face when she recognized him up close was priceless.
• This amazing, reckless, bold woman left the only home she’d known to start a life somewhere she’d never been. It fills me with a sense adventure and pride.

“She was born in 1919. It’s impossible to fathom all the changes Grandma witnessed in her 97 years, from the progression of transportation, technology, and medicine; to the industries, countries, and movements that have risen and fallen; to the leaders good, evil, and indifferent.”
