So plaintive and haunting, Constance. Your grandmother did, indeed, bless you with stories and memories that even snow and the tomb cannot steal from your heart. This reminds me of my grandmother who I still miss but still lives in my heart as your grandmother ever lives in your heart. Thank you for sharing that love and devotion. Blessings and gratitude.

a sad but well-created Senyru, Constance. I liked it. My grandmother was a storyteller, too. Miss her and her stories.
