This is my grandmother. She is 80 years old and is suffering from alzheimer's disease. This is a picture of her as a child and present day. Some memories from a long time ago are as clear as day while others from present day are hard to remember. by: katiengland Views[449]

My grandparents got to know each other through a series of letters for a period of a few months. They had only been aquantinces when grandpa got sick and had to leave school. He and grandma wrote letters back and forth for about 6 months. When he was well and came back to school he proposed and they got married. This photo represents the time and letters spend to build their lasting love. by: katiengland Views[291]
