For those of you that may not know, Grammie (Ruth May Sharp) was my dad's mother. If she were still alive, she would be 92 years old today. Even though she passed away in 1974 when I was 8 years old, I have many fond memories with her. Despite having debilitating arthritis, she would always find time to play with Karen and I. She loved playing the games Sorry!, Bingo, and Tiddly Winks with us, and would even go outside and play catch. She would also serve us Gobs from Harris & Boyer bakery, where Pap Pap worked as a night watchman. Every time I see a gob or hear someone mention them, I think of my Grammie. Looking back now, I realized what a sacrifice she made to spend time with us.Both of these pictures are from around 1971.
