Happy 118th birthday to my maternal grandmother! She used to joke that she was born the day before Columbus discovered America.
He took this photo of us with the gravestones of her great grandparents. As my daughter was 17 when my grandmother passed away at the age of 98, I emphasized to her that it is unusual for someone her age to have vivid memories of a great-grandparent. The photo below the headstone is a crop of us at 4 generations.

Knowing and remembering great grandparents is a wonderful gift. I too remember my gr grandparents. And, whereas my mother is still with us, my grandchildren will remember their great grandmother. Some day they too will understand the rarity of this blessing.
Hi Midge, My own late grandfather would be 120 tomorrow, Oct. 12, 2011. He was nearly sixty-one when he passed away. So, nearly as many years have gone by since his death as were the number of years he lived. I love your picture of four generations!
