My grandma, Helena encouraged me to become a writer.

"Write it, she would say, write it for the world to read !"

she could weave a tale with skill using voices and emotions
never wrote them down and in time her stories faded with age

Oh I love how you wrote of this family member. I hope you get a win with this gem, Constance. I am going to be making a long drive to Iowa for Thanksgiving soon. Hope I can have time to keep up here!
