Wow, I didn't expect a ribbon! Thanks everyone for your votes and comments. The old woman is my mother’s grandma (my grandpa’s mother). Her mother (my grandpa’s grandma) died 20 years ago and she was 106 years old. I still have vivid memories from my grand- grand- grand-mother.

I adore this image...its honesty moves me. I have just lost my 97yr old grandmother a month ago, which makes this all the more poignant for me. Congrats on your ribbon.
