Grandmothers

Just before I was about to say I had to go, the Italian lady told me her grandma had died on Wednesday. She was 98 years old and had lived with her daughter in Paris for the past ten years. She was a part of life. I listened to what she had to say and wondered what my grandmother was doing. She has just been diagnosed with cancer. She is 89 and lives on her own in the North East. My father and his sisters are taking it in turns staying with her. This Sunday is Mothers Day.
