Grandmam Quotes

#1. As I went about my work then as a young woman, and still now when I am old, Grandmam has been often close to me in my thoughts. And again I come to the difficulty of finding words. It is hard to say what it means to be at work and thinking of a person you loved and love still who did that same work before you and who taught you to do it. It is a comfort ever and always, like hearing the rhyme come when you are singing a song. #Quote by Wendell Berry

#2. Grandmam came back from that distance in time that separates grandmothers from their grandchildren and made herself a mother to me. #Quote by Wendell Berry

#3. Grandmam, as I have seen in looking back, was the decider of my fate. She shaped my life, without of course knowing what my life would be. She taught me many things that I was going to need to know, without either us knowing I would need to know them. She made the connections that made my life.... If it hadn't been for her, what would my life have been? I don't know. I know it surely would have been different. And it is only by looking back, as an old woman myself, like her a widow and a grandmother, that I can see how much she loved me and can pay her out of my heart the love I owe her. #Quote by Wendell Berry

#4. We had, you could say, everything but money
Grandmam and I did, anyhow. We had each other and our work, and not much time to think of what we didn't have. #Quote by Wendell Berry
