My grandmother Ruth and my son



Carl August and Anna Charlotta Ohlen had many children.
One of them was Ruth, my grandmother, born in 1900.

She was living in an old age home when we drove by car
from Norway to show her her first greatgrandchild, my son.

She sat on her bed, holding the little boy, two months old.
Judging from her smile, she seems to have enjoyed the
moment.

But I also remembered she was very tired, and the visit
soon ended.

She died a few years later.
