Mae Elizabeth Harris

was her given name but she went by a few names:

Her older sister called her "Bay Sister" for decades, it started as "baby sister" but became bay sister as many nicknames do.

Her husband called her Cuticles, she made fun of "cutsie" pet names couples used, so he said fine I'll call you cuticles then.

I almost forgot "MaeBeth" what her mother and my mom called her. The true nature of a good southern name, the many nicknames

Most called her Beth even though mail only came to Mae E. Harris

We called her Aunt Beth.

Although sometimes we called her a cheater if she won the card game.

This world is not conclusion;

A sequel stands beyond,

Invisible as music,

But positive, as sound. 

Emily Dickinson
