sister, mother, grandmother

vivacious, energetic, indefatigable

modern, trendy, stern, and sassy

not your usual grandma

world traveler, grand dame, perfectly groomed

yet girlish, compassionate, and altruistic

exacting, generous, with flair and humility

sharp, clever, nimble, wise

bound by her time, ahead of her time

beloved, bejewelled, my grandma
