We called her "Babcha". I always thought it was an old country honourific, and so I called my great-grandmother "Old Lady" for the twelve years I knew her.
Long before I knew her, however, she was not an old lady. No, not at all. She was a young woman living in Poland in the early 1900s, yearning for a fresh start away from a stepmother she didn't like.
