My grandmother's name was Delight. How can one go wrong with a name like Delight! She was a wonderful soul who walked amongst us, with breathtaking charm and beauty. She was married to Wildy, yes, my grandfather's name was Wildy! He too was a true charmer. The two of them attended just about every single piano recital, Girl Scout event, Tennis match, Choir and Band concert, graduation, birthday party, Christmas party, etc. They lived on a farm only 10 miles from our home and growing up it was a magical place to be a kid. Many a tree fort and play house were made in the woods surrounding the farm, we played endlessly with Wildy and Delight. And when it was time to eat, she could make the most amazing food treats I've ever eaten!
I said good bye to her this past Sunday. We actually drove through a snow storm as we neared her nursing home. She battled breast cancer for the last 2 years of her life. But on Sunday, you could tell she was ready to go.
So with that, I ask clients to be patient with delivery dates and deadlines as I am leaving tomorrow to visit with relatives and say good-bye one more time. I will check my email periodically, please email if something is of urgency.
