I've been thinking about my grandmother a lot lately. Not exactly sure why, this May she will have been dead 17 years, but I'm really missing her lately. The day of the biopsy all I wanted was a hug from, and we have never been a very "hugy" family.

Aside from some snapshot memories and second stories what I remember most is touching her left shoulder when she was lying in the hospital bed after her stroke, crying in the car on the way home from school when my dad told me she died and passing a note to my friend, during Spanish class, telling her my grandmother died...

Maybe it's because I have been doing a lot research into that side of the family, or maybe it's just longing for something I wish I still had, but it still hurts. 17 years later and the pain is still there.r
