12|Lessons from My Nana
To kick off this 4 week series honoring Mother's Day, this one starts us off with my grandmother. I have several vivid memories of my Nana. Anna Reyda was born in Montana in 1910 on her family's farm. Her dad had wanted a son and he was tough on her. She was the original No Nonsense Nana. Many years later she moved to New Jersey and met her husband and married in 1931. They had 5 children, 2 sons and 3 daughters with my mother being the oldest. When I was little, I remember a few times going to see her where she worked at a local cleaners and she taught me how to make change. When she took me to church, we would stop at the corner bakery around the street from where she lived and I would always get the crumb cake. My Nana loved to sew, crochet, and put more than a couple of sugar cubes in her coffee. She was tough when she needed to be and helped her family when she could. What do You remember of your grandmother? If she is still living, take the time to ask her LOTS of questions about her. She did have a life before you! In addition to taking notes and pictures, don't forget videos to capture her voice and personality. I use the Apple phone app, Voice Record. If she doesn't live local, do a recorded zoom. If she doesn't know how, get somehow to help her. You will be so happy that you did!!
