Happy Birthday Granny

Today would have been Granny's 93rd birthday. Doug and I were talking about this last night and saying it was still hard to imagine that she is gone.

I hear her every now and then and I talk to her too. Just like I talk to Daddy. I was watching an old Andy Williams Christmas special on PBS the other night and he got choked up about still missing his parents, even though now he is a very old man. Time changes the pain and lessens it, but it also makes me sad to be less sad. I don't want to keep losing the people I've lost. I don't want to lose my memories of them or the sharpness of their image in my mind. So feeling better is a different kind of grief.
