Such an uplifting story. Your Ninna was a wise woman. Yes, I must admit, the story brought tears to my eyes. I, too, have so many gifts that have been given to me and each of them are precious for the memories of the ones who gave them.
Have a Happy Thanksgiving.
Any day you wake up on the sunny side of the grass is a good day.
"The moving hand writes and having writ moves on. Neither all thy piety nor all thy wit can lure it back to cancel half a line nor all thy tears wash out a word of it." The Rubiyat by Omar Khayyam
