Shed Only One Tear
<p>
Dorothy Graham was my Grandmother and mother to my mother Margaret. We lived in Toronto and every so often she would come a spend a week or so at my family's house. I was always so excited to have her over. She once told me to shed only one tear when she was gone. The day she passed I shed many. My grandmother was a strong independant lady. She was widowed early as I cannot remember my Grandfather. I remember my Grandmother's Rhubarb jam. I remember visiting her for the weekend and sleeping over her house. I remember all my aunts and cousins getting together at Christmas time and eating a big meal every year. I remember her mother my Great Grandma Arnott and driving to her farm in Lanark County through all the gravel roads. My Great Gradma Arnott always baked good cookies. I feel like a piece of my past has gone away as now I never make any trips to Lanark and the Christmas Dinners with all the aunts don't happen anymore. I know I will return to Lanark one day for a visit. Beleive it or not a piece of my past disappeared when my Grandmother Dorothy passed away. </p>

Thanks for the memories Grandma.</p>
