💡 Key Takeaways:

✨ Grandmothers are the keepers of legacy. They hold the family stories, the classic recipes, and the timeless wisdom that shapes future generations.
✨ The most cherished memories are often the simplest ones. A shared project in the kitchen, a special trip, or a funny, frugal habit can become a story told for years to come.
✨ Faith provides peace in loss. Grieving is a natural and necessary part of life, but having the hope of heaven provides a deep and abiding comfort.
✨ If your grandma is still with you, call her. Cherish the time you have with the matriarchs in your life. Their presence is a precious gift.
