your indescribably stunning post about your aunt "influenced" this one.

between that and now finally hanging things on walls in my not-so-new-anymore-apt, i realized how much i really miss granny.

thank you, i'm happy i have the mirror too!
and as much as they might bring sadness to you, i'm glad that you have photographs...

: D

I wrote "hate" instead of *had*...I go loopy around 4pm, it's a given :/

I love nutter grannies.

Thank you for your kind words about the post, I never felt I could say anything that really portrayed how she really was...did her justice. Years ago I had something written out and I lost the document file in a computer crash. I started writing this one a few days ago after I found the photo. I am very glad I have the photographs, I really should send this to my uncle incase he does not have a copy but I always worry I will bring things up and upset him :/

i didn't even notice you wrote "hate," so obviously, i got it anyway!

and your post was gorgeous, and definitely does your aunt justice. it's so beautiful, it gives me chills, it made me cry...it's really heartfelt, stunning, stunning writing. nothing i say can do it justice, and i realize it's very private, to, so let's leave it at that...

as for your uncle - well, maybe you;ll know the tight time, maybe there won't ever be one. it'll come to you, what to do. no regrets tho, whatever you decide.

and yeah, granny was a right little nutter, but boy was she a strong lady. as fucked up as she was, i look back on some things she did or said, and think wow, you know, maybe she had it right (er, sometimes). also she smelled like "white shoulders."

;D
