I was reading a humorous article about the shenanigans of someone's grandparents in which the author stated, "poll your remaining grandparents to see if they have ever..."
I stopped reading and felt all hollow. It hit me- I don't have any remaining grandparents left.
I can hear Mom say, "tough shit- I don't have any parents left." True.
But Nanny is gone. Nanny has always been there. I'm nearly 40- she was always there. It's kinda like I just lost her all over again. The crying and mourning is long over; I'm not looking for consolation. I'm just trying to cope with the new now- the one with one more empty chair. -CMM
