Bru's memories

I am lucky to say, that even though we grew up on the other side of the world I have a wealth of memories of Gam. Time spent at the shore on visits here or at the hotel and special restaurants on their visits to Israel. These two are some of my fondest:

When i was in first or second grade, Gam was visiting and came to walk us home from school. on the way, i kept running forward and she kept saying she can't keep up, so she asked me if i wanted to skip instead of running. i was embarressed, because i didn't know what skipping was, so Gam taught me 'skip to my lou' and how to skip to it, and we skipped all the way home together. to this day i cannot help thinking of her skipping along with me whenever i hear that song.

When i was nine, i came for my first visit alone. we spent a week down the shore, and Gam took me to the spa with her. i had never been to a spa before or been allowed in a jacuzzi. it was just such great girl time, i'll never forget it.
