I never knew my grandparents! My mom and dad left their home in Sicily back in the forties, so I never met my grandparents but. I did know my Godparents! They were like my grandparents. In fact, I had to live with them a few times when my mom was in the hospital. She was ill most of her life. My dad went hunting for groundhogs and rabbits and he'd go out in the countryside to pick dandelions for salads. I did not care to eat my father's cuisine!
(smiling) The dandelions threw you off, huh? My uncle always made dandelion wine and I had the same reaction just thinking about it. Yuck. I would love to read some posts about your Godparents, Connie. It was probably very much like having grandparents --you knew they loved you and that's where the magic comes from. Thank you for your interest in my post and for your nice comments. ❤️
I was named after my Godmother, Concetta but I used Connie in Jr. High and Sr. High because I hated my name and some people couldn't pronounce my name. And some celebrities' names were Concetta and they used Connie for their names. So, I started using it. My Godparents had a Pharmacy a block away. I was always there, at the counter, drinking a soda or eating something! I remember one day I was eyeing this doll and I asked one of their sons how much it was. He said, take it, you can have it! They bought me gifts for Christmas and my birthday. I spent one Christmas and New Years with them because my mom was in the hospital. My Godmother was also ill most of her life. I will never forget their huge house on the hill! It looked like a huge doll house! I loved spending time there and playing in the back yard, full of trees! Their son and wife took me to a circus in nearby Philly! And I really enjoyed it!
