Our grandparents had so much strength, so much integrity.<br /><br />I miss mine, so very much.<br /><br />My grandparents worked on Shabbat when they came to America. But when my mother was pregnant with me, she had pneumonia and my grandfather made a pact with God. If I was born healthy, he would never drive on Shabbat again. Both God and my grandfather kept their part of the deal.RivkA with a capital Ahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09411034058195730044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21538597.post-49349054749365860232010-02-05T04:15:08.054+02:002010-02-05T04:15:08.054+02:00Risa,

I pictured a quaint little store with an old fashioned counter and brown kraft paper to wrap the goods in.<br /><br />Also, I pictured the white apron. Now, I just need a name for the store. I had one, but it is taken. There is a store in Florida named Sarah's Tent. That was the name that I had thought of. I'll have to keep dreaming.<br /><br />Thank you for sharing your memories with us.<br /><br />MelissaMelissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17149490578032892476noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21538597.post-81359149634461965172010-01-31T21:47:31.965+02:002010-01-31T21:47:31.965+02:00Leora, thanks for the inspiration!

My grandfather was also a determined man - he had risky surgery in the 1970's, because he wanted to visit his grandchildren, and it cost him his life. I'm sure today the surgery would be much less risky.<br /><br />And my grandfather, too, kept Shabbat during that period. His two daughters married rabbis - I am sure Torah was an important part of their childhoods.Leorahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12303493764579879710noreply@blogger.com
