{"product_id":"2940046052534","title":"Ida Godbold: 100 Years and Counting!","description":"\u003cp\u003eIt doesn't matter who you talk to, everyone thinks their generation was the best. Even those who experienced tremendous hardships recall mostly the good bits, and my Grandma is no exception.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhilst she's survived two world wars and been surrounded by lots of death, endured years of hard work without the modern conveniences we now take for granted, she still maintains she's probably seen the best in mankind. She's helped bring babies into the world, and washed and lain dead people out, something common for many people of her generation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eShe comes from an era when people were strong, resilient and didn't just care about material things, but friends and neighbours too.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThey were proud, independent and hard working.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThey didn't rely on handouts, didn't think the world owed them any favours and when things were broke, they fixed them. That went for relationships as well as \"stuff\", and it's a philosophy many of us would do well to adopt.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is the story of my Grandma Godbold, and is based on the conversations we've had together over the years.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhilst it will be of most interest to her family, Ida Godbod, is a remarkable woman in my opinion.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eShe's part of my history.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIndeed, but for her I wouldn't be here to tell this tale, so if you're sitting comfortably, let me tell you a little bit about the woman who's top of my family tree.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Jean Shaw","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47078441615600,"sku":"2940046052534","price":3.59,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940046052534_p0.jpg?v=1763983111","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940046052534","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
