Marigo Tsimbinou devastatingly lost several children as a young mother. This drove her to move from island to island in search of a home where her children would thrive. Her experience led her to become the midwife, healer, and wise woman of her small Greek village over 100 years ago. She was also my great grandmother. As a child of 9 years old, I felt something call to me when I first heard the elderly villagers recount stories of her tender care. They,  themselves, had been children when she touched their lives. Marigo filled the needs of her people and left a legacy of love, support, and healing so bright, it reaches across time, countries, and waters, where I strive to continue it today.
