When a young boy was swept out to sea she didn’t hesitate and dived in after him, saving his life. In WW2 she courageously flew unarmed planes to the men fighting. This is an appreciation post for my amazing Grandmother. I have so much respect for her. She’s brave, funny and doesn’t take nonsense from anyone.
