Great Grandma Research Paper

Out of all the people who come to mind Great Grandma stands out to me the most. Her hands are the most delicate and comforting objects I have ever encountered. When I get a visual of Great Grandma, the first thing that comes to mind are her delicate, dainty hands. Her hands are like springtime bees collecting pollen in a field of flowers. Her exquisite hands have always been busy since I can remember. Often her hands slapping in a rhythmic motion busy at work manipulating dough to make tortillas for her family's meals. She precisely rolls out tortillas with the right amount of pressure, like a steamroller rolling over the pavement, in order to obtain the perfect circularity. The patting of the dough forming the tortilla alludes to a delicious hearty dinner as the aroma fills the house at the end of the day. Great Grandma's hands spend hours in repetitive motion knitting. Her hands tightly grasp the long shiny round needles. Her fragile hands carefully balancing the wool stitches as to not let one slip from the orderly row. Hands still delicately coiling each loophole as she completes a cable chain on a gift crafted for a loved one. This task keeps her fragile hands cramped and engaged for hours.
When her hands are not engaged in cooking or knitting, she often greets her grandchildren with a
playful squeeze. Her dainty aged hands reach for my cheeks to give them a good squeeze. As she squishes my cheeks I inhale the essence of White Diamonds perfume and Oil of Olay face cream. With a gentle playful grasp of my cheeks, she gives a tight embrace when she is delighted to see me. These hard working hands remain velvety and supple throughout her daily tasks.
Ninety-five year old hands, wrinkled and boney, delicately care for her beauty.
Her elderly hands elegantly polish her long trimmed nails in vibrant pinks or reds. Boney elderly hands still rub in coral rouge on fragile cheeks. Steady hands clench an aged tube of lipstick as she gingerly applies red lips to her beautiful aged mouth. Great Grandma's busy working hands have taught about hard work and dedication to myself and family. Her hands are so welcoming to all walks of life, so if I ever find myself searching for comfort, I know I can always go to Great Grandma’s house and receive comfort one way or another just from her supple little aged
hands.
