I
will always remember when grandma died.
Mum was back from the hospital and went up stairs looking for me. When I appeared from a rarely used room at
the front of the house – we called it the “sitting room” - she stood at the top
of the stairs, leaning against the handrail, and looked down at me, her eyes
full of tears. She told me her Mum was
dead. That was the first time I
realized that grandma meant to Mum what Mum meant to me. I grew a little that day.
