Today I had the privilege of visiting my mum’s mum. Seeing my Grandma reminded me of how important it is to honour our previous generations ???????????? … When we show respect and appreciation for those who have come before us, we create a bridge to our past that we can carry with us… pic.twitter.com/h9qV4UAxuy
