This is my second publica
ti on with AuthorHouse Publishing. Last year,I published a book containing pictures of my grandmothers teapot
collec
ti on enti tled Grandmothers Teapots. As a follow up to that bookI wanted to compile a collec
ti on of stories from various grandmothersabout their experiences and the in
fl uences in their lives.There are many in
fl uenti al and strong women that can be found in ourown families. They are our grandmothers. These women have a story
to tell. They have experiences and wisdom, compassion and courage,
love and devo
ti on and can give encouragement someti mes when noone else can. They love uncondi
ti onally and someti mes devote theirlives to caring for their grandchildren.
I have had the priviledge to be loved by remarkable grandmothers. They
have encouraged my life and shared their stories. They remain part of
me and I will never forget their love. I wanted to write about what
makes these women so special and give the opportunity for readers to
enjoy the experiences of a few amazing grandmothers - strong women
who have in
fl uenced our lives.I live in Chesapeake, Virginia and have recently become a grandmother.
My husband, Johnny and I have 2 grown children. Sco
tt , our son andRebecca, our daughter, have blessed our lives. This past year, Rebecca
and her husband Derrell welcomed their
fi rst child, a daughter namedVanessa. There are no words that can express how my heart feels when
she looks into my eyes.
