So, so beautiful. I love that you were the only keeper of your grandmothers dear private life. The trust and knowing that must have brought you both in each other. Having not proximity to either grandparent growing up--they both lived a 9 + hour drive away and their visits were magical whirlwinds--it occurs to me now that I didn’t really get to know them--not the way you knew yours. Not the way I hope to know my own grandchildren one day. Is that a construct of certain “types” of grandmothers? Or of culture? Or of location, proximity, of eras? I’m curious. But when I read your stories I have faith in the knowing of family, deeply--their quirks, their character, their influence. And I’m so happy she came to visit you this week. Xx
