January's Mommy Made Book- Tribute to Grandma

I wanted to make Jacs a special book for this month… I was considering making her a book of the inauguration, and I still might make her one if I have time, but I knew deep down that this month had to be a Grandma Findlay book. I contemplated writing a story about her life, or the memories I have of her- and was struck with this short excerpt from Grandma’s book Back To Innocence. Its a story of the desire she had as a young child to receive a doll for Christmas, being disappointed about never receiving one- and learning how food is more important than trivial gifts. This special tribute book is very meaningful to me because it is written in my Grandma’s own words.
