Mom

This is me with my grandmother. She was named Marguerite. Her lodge sisters called her that. In-laws and friends called her Marge. Of course, my mom, uncle and aunt called her Mom. I thought that was her name, so I called her "Mom" too. I recall, at first, confusion and, later, a huffy shrug when a relative would suggest I call her "grandma" or some such. Mom and I were both happy with my choice. I know she loved being a grandmother, but she didn't mind not having to be called that.
