 One of the best pictures of Henry's great-grandmother, seen holding him here at age 2 at a cousin's birthday party. She was already in her 90s when this was taken--and that smile was basically ALWAYS on her face except in her final year.


*** AFTER VOTING ***

Thanks, everyone, for the comments! It means so much to me that this one should be connecting with so many people here. It's a fitting homage to the amount of joy she brought everyone in her life. Her son (my father-in-law) was really touched when I shared the news this morning.

Precious child. Great moment. I'm undecided on the light leak but her smile cannot be contained.
