Years ago, telling a story about a woman in the area where my grandmother lived, my mother remarked about the former’s character. She didn’t tell a bunch of ancedotes about the woman’s character, although many people did; Mother simply remarked, “Let’s just say your grandmother never invited her to Sunday dinner.”

I witnessed the behavior of a woman like that today; when you see it in person, you truly understand my grandmother’s stance, no matter how many decades have passed from them to now.
