Condolences on the passing of your Bubbe (Though I’ve used the word a thousand times I never spelled it out once). Amazing that you are able to articulate a loss as such and make it entertaining (?).

Wonderful memories. Eat, eat is classic Jewish mother/grandmother. Attempting to continue the tradition.

Condolences.

After you learned the meaning of the photo did you ever find her personal reason why she showed it to you? If it was a "this happened and don't forget" or a "be grateful" reminder?

She is obviously happily remembered. May she Rest In Peace and May her memory keep your heart warm.

My deepest sympathy to you and your family. Loved reading the tribute to your grandmother. As I have gotten older, I have realized that there is nothing like a grandparents love.
