A flashback to the past. My maternal grandmother was called Mamaw by all of her grandchildren. She was born in 1901. She was a working woman and worked in factories during her 20s and about the age of 30 got married. She had a baby who was stillborn, then my oldest uncle, then another baby who was stillborn. The doctor told her not to have any more. She didn't listen and had 5 more children, all of whom lived. She was widowed before her youngest child finished high school. She was afraid of thunderstorms and would sleep in her clothes, including shoes and glasses, holding her purse and a flashlight.
