I did too, asianthree. I was an only child and my mammy was just like a granny to me. She was truly like a member of the family.
Then I had one for my three children (now in their 40's).
Her name was Lucy and the children still speak lovingly of her as do I.
Funny story: Lucy was overweight and had had rickets, so she dragged one leg when walking. When my youngest began walking, he
dragged his right leg - I freaked out, thinking it was a permanent problem and
I frantically called the pediatrician, who was a friend of ours, and with tears was hysterically describing the situation.
He burst into laughter and quietly told me to calm down. My son was copying Lucy's walk and I had nothing to fear. All turned out well.
