Picture post


Maw-Maw never had gray hair--she wouldn't have stood for that. She defined, for me, what it means to grow old gracefully. In that spirit, a picture from April of 2008...before the decline kicked in so aggressively. This is how I remember our grandmother. -K

Start of blog

I'm deciding to create a blog or some type of place for my grandma Nifong who passed away July 10, 2009. She never got a chance to get on Facebook due to her health in the last 6 months or so, but she sure would have enjoyed it! So to help keep her memory alive and to generate more than just a couple of hits on a Google search that deliver her obituary because she done so much more than just die last year. Hopefully I can at least show off my wonderful grandma to the world and how special she made each person feel. She's welcomed neighbors, tenants of their small mobile home park, in-laws, parents of in-laws, grandchildren's spouses and countless other persons whom you mistaken as family....because she treated everyone really as family. To such a degree that I had cousins think she was their grandmother too. So, I hope that this blog will grow and others will have a chance to post, read, or some how share memories of Maw-Maw Nifong, Mom, or Miss Bridget.
