Honoring Women and Motherhood with Excerpts from Grandma’s Giggles

A collection of the funny comments made by the author's children, grandchildren and/or the comments made by the children of family members, friends and former students in the author's classes as well as a blend of the pictures taken by the author in her unofficial role as the family photographer of a very large "tribe" of extended family members and friends. After her grandson was born, the author's primary focus became capturing every moment, or as many moments as possible, of her grandson's existence. This made sense to her. After all, she had prayed for eight years to have a grandchild and her prayers were answered to which she said... Amen and Hallelujah three times: One for the Father... One for the Son...and One for the Holy Spirit. After much thought and input from those whom Grandma's Giggles" had been shared with in it's authentic form, the author expanded the content of this publication beyond the humorous side of the relationship between the grandparent...especially the grandmother, and the grandchild;. Overtime, this publication blossomed into a three part book remembering significant women in the lives of those saying yes to participating in this project and also realizing that these honorees were worthy of recognition...but would not be remembered or acknowledged on a national stage even though they played significant roles in the lives of the children God placed in their lives by providing these children with care, love, guidance, nurturing, understanding, compassion and empathy as well as laying the foundation for their values, ethical and moral compasses, decision making screens and more.
