...on the day I cam home from hospital. I turned over and that was just not okay with her. She was in full-fledged opposition to me until the day she died at 97. No matter what I did it was never okay.

It was from her mother, my nana, who fortunately lived with us that I learned love and tolerance. Somehow that lesson skipped a generation and left my mother behind.
