Dear Grandma,
About a year ago I thought up the idea for this blog. A series of letters written to you from so far away. I thought about how the distance between us had to do with so much more than miles. I knew that my letters would never penetrate the fog in which you lived. And yet, I wanted to write to you. I wanted to share with you. I wanted to do all the things I imagined as we were spending time together when I was growing up. The secrets and joys we would share. The tight hugs and tear stained cheeks.
Now you are gone, and some would say I've waited too long. But I don't see it that way. I believe that now my letters will reach you. I can imagine you sharing them with Grandpa. How the two of you will laugh over my foibles, smile at the kids antics and finally get to know Johnny better.
So here goes. Letters to you, my Grandma.
Love
E
