Nanny Beach

My kids call my mother Nanny Beach, could be worse her name could be Grandma Rock's, today is her birthday, she is now the age my grandmother got too but my Grandmother was "old" and I am having a harder time thinking of my own mother as a little, old lady, despite the fact that she has shrunk at least 3 inches over the years. My mother was always tall 5'9" (1.75m) and I was the runt of the litter at 5'6." (1.67m) but last time I saw her, just over two years ago, she was the same height as me.
