RE: The Stories She Gave Me: On books and the death of my grandmother

in #life7 years ago

How beautifully put. Yes, let's remember what they have given to us. In addition to a love of words, my grandmother showed me how to take care of myself and gave me the drive to do it. I could see that as a negative as it happened through her lack of self-care, but the fact is she inspired me and she was very, very proud of me for treating myself the way she could never treat herself.
