Small in stature with a hearty laugh
A fiery tongue and thoughts seldom lost
Eulalie Richards is an amazing woman
And my grandmother
We sit at her kitchen table and talk like best girlfriends
I am 36 and she is 97
Years of separation finally brought us to a place where we can
Talk laugh and whisper about her past and my present
No more secrets
Grandma Eulalie shares herstory on relationships
Money, marriage, her son, my father
An unborn child I am holding in my womb
And a Bajan rum cake recipe never written down
The ingredients resting in the memory
Of a woman nearing a century and will soon
Make her way back home February 1, 2001

Eulalie Richards
11/18/1900 - 02/1/2001
