Grandparents
I wonder what kind of relationship my brother and my sister remember about my grandmother. She's been gone now for 13 years this December, and I want to know their perception of her compared to my perception of her. I remember her hair being pulled up tightly and those hours spent primping before going out to Hills or Murphy's Mart. I remember her buying clothese for my cousins and then being embarrassed because they had less money than her. I remember the time some young kid tried to steal shoes from Payless and she offered to pay for them since he obviously really needed them. I remember her bathroom and her African violets. I remember her basement, and I remember the toys she kept for me under the bed. I remember this and other things and things I will never remember that I remember.
