| 説明 | I would give these rosaries to my grandmother, Violet Emma Dove Biscoe, many years before her death in November 1998 at the the age of 105. From when I was just a young boy visiting and sometimes residing with my grandparents on their farm I can still remember that when waking up in the morning she'd always begin her day with " ...saying the rosaries". A ritual that she attempted to instill in all her grandchildren. As well as our mother.For much of her life upon rising from bed ... she'd kneel down at the side of her bed and 'say the rosaries'. In her later years, instead of kneeling down on her knees ... she'd lay in bed and 'say the rosaries.' Once done with the ritual, she'd take a bath and fix breakfast. And go on about her day.Born on 21 January 1893 had she not gone before she would now be 113.So many years have past since I've said my rosaries. It must have been sometime in my high school years that I discontinued the practice.Perhaps, on Saturday, 21 Janaury 2005, I will carry the rosaries with me, feel the beads that link the chains ... in memoru of my grandmother that we called Big Mama.In Memory of Violet Emma Dove Biscoewww.geocities.com/elvertbarnes/BiscoeFuneralEssay2dec98.htmlElvert Xavier Barnes Photography |
