I lost my grandmother thirty years ago this week. My life was forever changed.
I had no idea I'd cry so hard thus morning. This is so beautiful. The descriptive details made it feel like I was in the scene at times. And my heart broke so hard for 12yo you, and for the decades you experienced after. Thank you for sharing.
thank you Brandon. My heart breaks for 12 year old me, too. It was an awful lot and the middle school years suck ANYWAY.
Oh, I love the song “Marjorie” and never knew it was about her grandmother. Thank you for this piece and for sharing Irene with us.
It is a truly incredible song. Fun fact: The opera singer that comes in towards the end is her grandmother's voice <3
