Those words were her grandmother's warmest praise, and Emer smiled to hear them. She had always known her grandmother was rather different. Deirdre never baked cookies or knit sweaters, like the grandmothers in the books Emer had read, and she was quite a bit younger than them, too. None of the ones in the books fought burly men twice their size for kicks, or spent their evenings engaged in intense drinking competitions down at the local tavern. Keeping in shape, Deirdre called it, and laughed when Emer asked her. On the other hand, none of the grandmothers in the books were decorated generals, respected reformers, or related to her, and if Deirdre came with certain quirks, and a certain reticence when it came to actually putting her feelings into words, Emer loved her dearly, nevertheless.
Aw, thanks. I've been wanting to get a picture like this done for a long time now, and I thought Percibey's style and generally cute aesthetic fit it nicely. She did an amazing job with it, too! Thank you for pointing me toward such a talented artist, dear wolfy!

Aw, thanks! Deirdre has her faults, but she's always been devoted to her family.
I wish you could have met them, too. Grandparents can be really wonderful, and a great way to get to know about family history, and what your parents were like when they were young. I've always wished I could have met my paternal grandparents, but my paternal grandfather died when my father was a boy, and my grandmother died when I was three. So I really only got to know my mother's parents, but they always treated me really well.
She is, and she knows it, too.

Never underestimate the power of badassery that is Grandma.
Funnily enough, many people do and don't really think that some of them are the sharpest tacks in the box. There's a reason we call them grand, after all.
And gods, she's still a bombshell~

Oh gosh, yes. That goes double, maybe triple, for Deirdre! At only 57, she's fit and healthy from a lifetime of service as a soldier - and she's been a General for most of that time! - and she can out-fight, and out-drink, decades younger than her. She's devoted to her family, and while she and her daughter squabble over almost everything, it's only because it's a kind of sport between them. She's not perfect by any means, and she can be a tremendous pain in the butt sometimes, but she's got a good heart under it all, and she's very proud of her grand-daughter.
Hee, and yes, she is! Those Lohan girls have good genes!
