Special Memories Dorothy's Place

Funny how a simple little phrase from someone can trigger a memory. This morning I overheard a stranger say, “God, I miss my Grandpa.” That opened my memory box. I never knew my grandfathers. They both died before I was born so I only know of them what was told to me over the years. Though both of my grandmothers died while I was young, they did leave me a few memories. They are special. There are two in particular that stick with me about Grandma B. She belonged to the Free Methodist Church. When I went to services with her, we had to kneel on a kneeler which hurt my knees. I didn’t like that, so I tried to avoid staying over Saturday nights

with her. My cousin, Rosie June, didn’t do very well in school. Grandma bribed her by telling her that she would give her a dollar for every A she received on her report card. In those days a dollar was considered a lot of money, but that promise never cost Grandma a cent. When I heard about the deal though, I got very excited. I was willing to stay over a Saturday night to show her my card with all A’s except one B. I mentally counted my aboutto- be fortune. When I proudly showed my card to Grandma, she knitted her brows and said, “And why is it, Dorothy Lou, you let yourself receive a B?” I didn’t have an answer for her but I had learned a lesson. Sunday morning, as I knelt on that hard kneeler, I informed God that I didn’t think life was fair. I have two special memories about my Grandma M. One is that she had the most beautiful snow-white hair. The other is a promise she extracted from me. On the day of her death, she called me to her bedside. She asked me to promise her that when I grew up I would be a proper young lady and not smoke or drink. At 5 years old, I was willing to promise.
