Miss You Grama!
My Grama died a little less than a year ago.
She was 100 years young. She lived an incredible life!
She raised her children until they were adults and left the home and then became a Circus
performer/animal trainer at around the age of 45.
Performed in Shrine Circus's all over the Midwestern United States for the next 20 years.
Was on Bozo's Circus here in the States. TV shows such as What's My Line and To Tell
The Truth and also on the cover of Life Magazine
There was nothing my grandmother could not do. She was completely fearless. She could get
in a ring with tigers, elephants and sea lions without blinking an eye.
From the age of 65-75 she and my grandfather drove the semi-trailer with their elephants and
did promotions for Waterbed stores and had the elephant walk across the water bed and
gave elephant rides to children.
Obviously my views have changed on the whole Circus thing and animals being taken out of the
wild to perform in circuses. And I do support PETA. It no longer makes me happy to see.
And I do apologize if these pictures have upset anyone.
But the point I am really trying to make is that many of us who are middle aged may feel like life
has passed us by, that we wasted many years to our drinking and or drugging and that our lives
are over and there is no hope.
My grama was a living example that you can start a new life anytime you choose if you have
the courage and determination.
Grama lived independently and unassisted until the day she passed peacefully in her
own home.
Rest In Peace Grama until we meet again!
*Video of Grama on her 100th Birthday ( She was not an alcoholic but did enjoy her one beer a day re: video.) tilt your head

Count me in for a sober Monday. 9:41 pm here in Texas.
That is a very inspiring story, deeker, and it makes me feel better about what I can still accomplish now that I'm free of dependence on alcohol. Thanks for sharing.

Deek, I watched Bozo the Clown on TV as a kid, and What's My Line. Maybe I saw your Grama! Thank you for sharing. I'm checking in for my next 24 hours of Sobriety. I just had a relaxin' Lazy day today.
