Hilda Kaunitz b. 1918

This is me and my Grandma on my wedding day sharing an intimate moment caught on camera. She always did what she called "busha-busha" with us — pressing her forehead to ours and gently rubbing back and forth and saying the words. I really don't know where that came from, what it meant or who started it, but it is something I always remember when thinking of her. In the years before her passing away, she slowly lost her memory. In the mix of the loss of her remembrances and the actually loss of her I have held on fiercely to my memories of her.
