Grandmother's Tea

This is my second publica

ti on with AuthorHouse Publishing. Last year,

I published a book containing pictures of my grandmother’s teapot

collec

ti on enti tled “Grandmother’s Teapots”. As a follow up to that book

I wanted to compile a collec

ti on of stories from various grandmothers

about their experiences and the in

fl uences in their lives.

There are many in

fl uenti al and strong women that can be found in our

own families. They are our grandmothers. These women have a story

to tell. They have experiences and wisdom, compassion and courage,

love and devo

ti on and can give encouragement someti mes when no

one else can. They love uncondi

ti onally and someti mes devote their

lives to caring for their grandchildren.

I have had the priviledge to be loved by remarkable grandmothers. They

have encouraged my life and shared their stories. They remain part of

me and I will never forget their love. I wanted to write about what

makes these women so special and give the opportunity for readers to

enjoy the experiences of a few amazing grandmothers - strong women

who have in

fl uenced our lives.

I live in Chesapeake, Virginia and have recently become a grandmother.

My husband, Johnny and I have 2 grown children. Sco

tt , our son and

Rebecca, our daughter, have blessed our lives. This past year, Rebecca

and her husband Derrell welcomed their

fi rst child, a daughter named

Vanessa. There are no words that can express how my heart feels when

she looks into my eyes.
