My husband and I were surprised at the uncontrollable and endless flow of love and affection we felt for our grand kids. My Maternal Grandmother had that endless flow, and She made us feel as if we were the most important person in the world. I don't think I knew her last name until I was much older.

My Last Name is Grandma is a book of enlightening short stories about two of my six grand kids intertwined with stories from my own childhood. I realized that like most grand kids, they don't really care what your first or last name is, all they know is Grandma. As a grandparent, it is the best sound in the world for a grandchild to see you and come running towards you with the words, "Grandma, Grandma!" or "Grandpa, Grandpa!"

This book could have been written by any grandparent, as in some way or other, we all have stories to tell about our grand kids. Enjoy the book, and thanks for your support.
