Description
Journal Article
My grandmother had long silver hair, high blood pressure, and congestive heart failure. She wore the silver hair in a bun during the day and in a braid at night. I remember her sitting in the day parlor of my grandparents? southern Illinois bungalow, telling the same stories of their small town, over and over again. She was the first person from her family to finish high school and the fact that she had studied Latin was a source of great pride to her. (Studying Latin and eventually reading Lucretius in the original was how I got into philosophy, but that's the subject for another essay). And she taught me how to knit.
