MY MOTHER’S NAME IS DAWN PALMIERI (“MOM”)

MY GREAT GRANDMOTHER GG PASSED AWAY ON MARCH 30TH, 2019 AT 100 YEARS OLD. AT THE SHIVA FOLLOWING HER FUNERAL, I LOOKED THROUGH A STORAGE OTTOMAN THAT SHE HAD TAKEN WITH HER EVERYWHERE SHE MOVED. IN IT WERE HUNDREDS OF IMAGES, DOCUMENTS, AND JOURNALS WAITING TO BE DISCOVERED. WHILE LOOKING THROUGH HER BELONGINGS, I FOUND A STORY OF STRENGTH WITHIN THE WOMEN IN MY FAMILY. THROUGH THE COUNTLESS HARDSHIPS AND TRIUMPHS THEY HAVE FACED OVER GENERATIONS, UNCONDITIONAL LOVE AND SUPPORT IS A CONSTANT. JUST AS GG TOOK CARE OF HER DAUGHTER, GRANDDAUGHTER, AND GREAT GRANDDAUGHTER SINCE BIRTH, AT THE END OF HER LIFE WE IN TURN TOOK CARE OF HER IN MANY OF THE SAME WAYS. THIS PROJECT HAS HELPED ME TO CLEARLY SEE HOW IMPORTANT WOMEN’S ROLES ARE IN FAMILIES AND HOW THEY UNDERSTAND AND RESPECT THE TRADITIONS OF NURTURING EACH OTHER THROUGH EVERY STAGE OF LIFE.
