Your relationship with your ...Beautiful, Kathleen. Your relationship with your grandpa reminds me of my own relationship with my grandma. She's been gone for years and years, but sometimes, out of nowhere, I think of her and remember a scent, a mannerism, a wrinkle. In those moments, I also believe she is speaking to me. I know your grandpa would be so proud of you. No doubt.Dana Murphyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11074459005471978793noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7988999290497318131.post-71746739958306238262015-06-02T19:10:21.559-04:002015-06-02T19:10:21.559-04:00What a lovely piece!

I love these words: "It is a priceless gift to have someone so deeply in your corner, someone rooting for you no matter what. Grandy is still giving me that gift, 15 years after leaving this earth."

I am 51 and still have my grandmother, although her mind isn't as sharp as what it used to be. Stories like this one makes me appreciate her even more.
