Eras have to end sometime
June 15, 2008 | |
Yesterday, we had a final good-bye in the park. Aunt Jan will drive Nanny to her home in North Carolina sometime next week.
A lot of faces from days gone by were there. Many more were not. Still, considering Gina-sister didn’t really tell many people, just let the news spread via word-of-mouth, I was shocked by the number of folks who turned up.
More amazing still, were the family of tourists who stopped by the pavilion to honor my grandmother. They’d heard just a tiny bit of her story, and what she’d done for the town, and they wanted to shake her hand.
The day was beautiful. Full of tears and laughter and hugs and dancing.
And soon, there will be (almost) none of us left.
I wonder if the town will notice?
