Those, Val say our reactions are the only things that we can control.

My Grandma Fowler had 11 children and gave her 11th child to her brother to raise; that 11th child was my dad. She needed to know that she will be forever in my heart as the one who gave me my sense of humor. She was my biggest fan and I hers.
She raised her children in Central Alberta and spent her elder years in a senior’s home which just happened to be 10 minutes from where I lived. I got to know her well in her last 25 years of her life on earth. I entertained at her large birthday parties and felt privileged to be able to get to know her.
Grandma had a wicked sense of humor and her story will never be forgotten through my Grandma puppet’s portrayal of her. The audience is in a state of pure joy from watching as the story unravels and Grandma finally reveals what is in her purse.
