Happy 100th Birthday for Grandma

Today would’ve been my grandmother’s 100th birthday. I decided to dedicate my site’s banner to her which is the least I could do, she was pretty good to my brother and me. Even if we weren’t her only two grandchildren, she’d still think the world of us. I only wish that I got to know her when she was younger and I were older. Huh? I wish the current (or older) version of me had a chance to speak to a younger version of her. I have much better questions to ask her about her life during the decades I’ve read about, especially matters pertaining to the Roaring 20s when she attended university (was The Great Gatsby a popular book then?). The last 20 years of her life were a medicated-induced haze accompanied with the dementia from aging. This made Grandma a real pill to be around. Being a teenager/college student only compounded the friction. 
 
It was also pretty fitting that Grandma’s zodiac sign being Taurus, she was stubborn (or bull-headed) all the way to the end of her life. Despite the stereotype of a silly astrology matter, she was very generous, supportive and financially clever in her own Pre-WWII mindset. We couldn’t have gone to college without her and Grandpa and for that, I will always be grateful.
