I didn't know either of my grandmothers well; so I've always had an admiration - and candidly, fascination - with the grandparent relationship.
I watch my Mom and daughter, and am bowled over by their dynamic. My past and future bound together with so much love.
That's why when I was interviewing Amanda Mays for her episode, and she was fawning over her lovely Naunnie, the words were out of my mouth before I could realize what I had said.
"Will Naunnie join us on the show?"
We laughed, wrapped the episode, and then two weeks later I get an email that, "Naunnie is in!"
It was a gift - truly - to sit down across generation to hear family stories that had never been unearthed before; and to watch as a granddaughter took in the life and struggles that made the woman she calls Naunnie.
If you do nothing else for your soul today, listen to this episode.
Naunnie is the original modern woman.
