Why am I writing about my heritage? It's very important to me to write it down for my family to know. My grandmother could sell ice to as eskimo. She crawled out of her window at 16 to marry my grandfather. My father's parents believe it or not married on the same day and same year,too. Can you believe that? How many couples you know married and their parents shared the same day same year anniversary? Anyway, My grandmother had the most unconditional love towards me. Perhaps she went through so much in her youngers years that she showed me that side of her. She always had a big hug for me and she would say I've been so hungry to see you. I have so many good memories of spending time with her and she would always answer my questions. She would always take me places to hear preachers, whenever they came to town. See she lived in Dallas and sold ladies clothes to women in downtown Dallas. She was always in retail and sold Luziers cosmetics. Then her shop moved out to North Park. I can remember when there was nothing around there. I would spend a week every summer in Dallas with them. It would be wonderful because I was all by myself and I didn't have anyone around except my grandparents. We would always go see relatives so that would be neat. I loved those times with my extended family. I learned so much from her. Forgiveness, love for others, the list goes on. her faith in God. Tillet S. Tedlie married a cousin of hers and I sat with him at the piano one day. He survived several wives and I went by to see him before I left for Abilene. His wife at the time was also a nurse and she was the first one to mention to me about my thryroid. There are so many ways she influenced my life. I can't list them all but I can be an example to others so her legacy goes on. She was a painter and love to paint flowers. She even came to Tyler and took art lessons fom Nell Pounders who was a painter(roses I think). what else can I say about her? perhaps as I write I'll remember all the ways she influenced my life and faith.
