bardic_ladyOh, look who's up. And not tired. Which is why sleeping until 6pm isn't necessarily a good thing.
I'm kind of down at the moment, it's a rough time of year, as I've said before. Yesterday was the tenth anniversary of my paternal grandmother's death of ovarian cancer. I remember how I used to spend the night at my grandmother's house and she would have chocolate chip muffins for me for breakfast and then I got to swim in the pool at her retirement complex. She had Rocky and Bullwinkle on tape and I got to watch them when I was at her house. She watched Empty Nest in the evenings and I sat on her bed and watched it with her. In the mornings when I first woke up, I got to snuggle with her.
Today is the seventh anniversary of my maternal grandfather's death of unknown causes. He was the photographer in the family. He and my grandma traveled all the time and he always came back with rolls and rolls worth of slides. Every so often, when he wanted, he would pack me special lunches for school. He packed the best lunches. Tuna sandwiches, exactly the way I liked them, and carrots and a can of Kern's nectar and potato chips and a chocolate chip cookie. It was alway exciting to get to the lunchroom and find a grandpa lunch waiting. He always had to run through everyname in the family to find the name he wanted, but we always seemed to know who he meant.
I love them both so, so much and I miss them a lot.
