another

Last night word came that one of my favorite grandmothers had passed on.

Elizabeth was in her mid 90's. She lived with her granddaughter in my town. Granddaughter is about the age of my daughters. Elizabeth was a tiny woman who was always smiling. In the last few months I have seen her decline, and I did not like that at all.

One of her great granddaughters, Gabrielle, is a good friend of Emily's. Every time Em was in town she was invited to Gaby's house for a spell.

All I can say now is that she was a wonderful woman, like another mother.

I am running out of mother figures.
