Mother's Day Tribute to Grandma Ruby Andrew


I love this picture of my Grandma Andrew reading to her children. To me it typifies the wonderful kind of mother that Grandma Andrew was. I admire how Grandma would take time out of her busy life to read to her children. I love how attentive the young children are and even Diana is deep in thought, pondering on her mother's words!
As I see the picture of my Mom in her wedding dress on the table, it reminds me of what I read in Grandpa Andrew's journal. When my Dad was released from his mission, the Andrew family traveled to Los Angeles to pick him up, even "Sherm the Worm" and "Doug the Bug" as my Grandpa Edwards would call them. Ray had arranged to give an engagement ring to LaDeane the minute he was released from his mission. LaDeane was the first to get married and the wedding date was set 6 weeks away. After the ring was presented, they travelled down to Mexico to see the sites. Grandma Andrew worried for the rest of the trip how to get everything ready for the wedding! Oh the things mothers go through for us!
