Grandma Dorothy

A couple weekends ago, my husband Richard and I had to run some errands.  While in the Wal-Mart parking lot, I noticed this elderly lady who was getting out of her vehicle.  She had two other people on both sides of her helping her walk.  She was a shorter lady.  That was the first thing I noticed, was her height.  Is this a strange thing to notice?  Probably.  I had this instant thought of my Grandmother.  Dorothy Lindhorst.  That's who this lady reminded me of.  I don't know why.  I've been told my grandmother was a very short lady, under 5 feet!  That's probably why so many of my family members are so short.  I'm the tallest of the girls in my immediate family and I'm only 5'4! hehe  Anyway, I thought of Grandma Dorothy.  This sweet little short lady, whom I never had the privilege to meet.  She passed away from breast cancer before I was born.  This actually makes me quite sad.  I think often about what kind of relationship we would have had.  Ho
