Happy Bday Nana Irma!

In honor of the family matriarch's 88th year, I want to share a favourite story of my Nana and how she dispensed her wisdom with total honesty. A handful of years ago, Nana had to pick up my cousin at high school and when she arrived, Nana found Hope with a group of friends, both male and female. There was Hope, front and center, kneeling down in front of one of the boys. Nana rolled down the window of the Caddy, snapped her fingers and ordered Hope to immediately get in the car. Once inside, she could sense Nana's disappointment. "Hope, I am appalled. You never kneel in front of someone unless they're a statue!"
