Maybe I'm feeling sentimental for the love of my grandmothers at this time of year.<br /><br />I was lucky too. I didn't lose my first grandparent until I was 24; my last at 35.Adminhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00335756319929734330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3291822984443127930.post-42793628283466980302011-12-02T20:36:42.822-05:002011-12-02T20:36:42.822-05:00I could definitely see this being an excellent cho...I could definitely see this being an excellent choice for a stocking stuffer.Jennershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08044537551139633301noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3291822984443127930.post-69033473217377239992011-12-02T17:39:54.062-05:002011-12-02T17:39:54.062-05:00What wonderful words of wisdom..

Ilene Beckerman also wrote the book "Love Loss and What I Wore" (the play) is based on. Gingy's mother died when she was about 12 which is why she ends up living with her grandmother... if you get a chance to see the play, you must!Darylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08241795455748298624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3291822984443127930.post-80451577719649140172011-12-02T07:43:44.459-05:002011-12-02T07:43:44.459-05:00I really enjoyed this book!
