The letter for today is F A to Z home

Each of us has that one member in their family who is the eccentric, or the wild woman . . . quit shaking your head, You know it’s true.

If we’re blessed, we actually know them. My great grandmother and I never met, but I wish we had. She was ahead of her time in a lot of ways.

Her biggest claim to family scuttlebut fame is that she (gasp!) divorced her husband. These days nobody would bat their eye at such a thing – at least those outside of immediate family. It is such a “normal” thing these days.

In those days – not so much. It must have been something pretty big.

So, today I would like to tip my proverbial hat to my great-grandmother for her courage in bucking the norm. I hope she found happiness.
