My grandmother was always MeMe. I’m 47 years old and still refer to her as MeMe. My Aunt recently sent me several boxes of her earrings, and although she never met her, Jax knows that her greatgrandmother’s earrings are MeMe’s earrings.

The pair of her earrings that Jax is currently wearing is the first pair Meme wore after the “trainer” ones after getting her ears pierced when I was Jax age, 38 years ago.
