Today I had the pleasure of introducing my daughter to her great grandmother, my father's mother.
At almost 97 years old, this woman travels to every family event, and always has a gift and a lollipop for her great grandchildren. What a blessing, her mind is as sharp as ever, her body that of a 70 year old. In her 80's she established an organization to revive the Yiddish language in the United States, and she regularly writes short stories.
At the age of 96, Alte Bohbee received an ipad as a birthday gift, and she is more proficient on this modern technology than I.
It is rare to have four generations together, I myself knew two of my great grandparents, and I am happy that I was able to have the opportunity this trip to continue the tradition with Raphaela.
