Such a beautiful tribute! I feel this way about my maternal grandmother, who died when I was around 4. Have only one vague memory of her but it's powerful. Over the years, sometimes my mother has said things like "your grandmother loved that, too" or "that's what my mother believed."

I'm even named for her. She was Jenny. Increasingly I'm asking longtime pals who call me "Jen" to change it - hard habit to ask people to break - to "Jeni"
