As I begin this journey, I have to say Gertilu inspires me still. Not daily, but the love she showed me as a little girl finds its way into much of who I am now. I find myself naturally gravitating to the comforting seeds she planted in my spirit when I was 6 thru 11 years old. I learned what comfort felt like, she used to let me sleep in her half bed when our family visited during summers and holidays. Her bed was little and she was little but round and fluffy and the best place in the world was lying close to my grandmother in the summer evening listening to her and my mama chat until I fell asleep. I remember the sounds of the highway and the streaking headlight shadows on the primary green walls of my grandmama's bedroom. I remember. That is why I write. Thank you Grandmama Gertie Lu Otis Eaves. Born 1919, resident of Trenton Tennessee most of her life. Raised 3 kids, buried one. Route 4 Trenton TN phone number 855-1868....I love you. I remember when you were in your 50's as I am nearing mine. I thought you were so old...sorry....I know now that you weren't that old then. That is unless I am now becoming old too. I didn't think old would feel this good.
