THEGIRL Speaks

THEGIRL was named after my great grandmother and my wife's grandmother.

She has my great grandmother's eyes, bigtime. A slightly almond-shaped, almost Asian look. Grandma had them, and THEGIRL has them.

And hardly a week goes by that I don't say, at some point, "Hello Grandma."

Until now, she'd reply, "I'm not Grandma!"

Tonight, however, she replied, "Are you Papaw?"

Papaw is what we called my grandfather, aka her son-in-law.

Eerie.

Some things can't be taken away, period.
