Gran

I miss my Gran today, more than usual.  No matter what anyone thought of her, or the things she did, she was amazing to me.  She was affectionate and she laughed and showed me it was okay to be silly.  There came a point, when her health (all aspects) started to slip, and I realized that in some ways our roles reversed.  She wasn't the place I could run and hide, to get a hug and make it all better anymore. But because of her, I know how to be that port in a storm for other people.  I miss her smile.  I miss her hugs.
