My Mother-In-Law Died Last Night. By Geniusofdespair

She was 103 years old and 3 months. Her favorite president was Franklin Delano Roosevelt. She never voted for a Republican and never missed an election including the last one. She was a pre-teen when women were given the right to vote. I said "OMG did women go crazy? What was that like?" She said nothing happened. It was hardly noted in her household. She had an outhouse and a horse drawn carriage with a wacky horse that would lie down in the street. As a 6 year-old, she sold newspapers at the train station for her dad. College educated, she became a teacher and married a doctor. She lived a good life.

It was her time to go. She had a long healthy life except for the last few months. 103 was not the charm for her. (This is a painting I did of her when she was in her 80's, she didn't like the painting much. It was from a black and white photo.)
