She died when I was 11. She practically raised me when I was young and she was one of the few people in my life that saw any potential in me.
I love her. She is deified in my mind. I keep thinking that had she not died, my life would be so much different. I wouldn't have been alone when my parents decided to do what they did. I wouldn't have had to have taken my own side. To have had one rational adult in my life that my parents might have LISTENED to when they were acting like children instead of me, a child, trying to reason with them... it was almost like there was no such thing as logic and reason in my life. Like never existed. Everyone just... forgot.
She had many problems, but she was one of the most intelligent and rational human beings I have ever met. She went from an impoverished and beaten little girl living in a shack in the middle of the woods to a well-adjusted, college educated woman. No one like her will ever walk this Earth again.
Call me sentimental and soft, but there is a hole in my life that was left when she died. There is a void in my family that only she could have filled.
If I grow up to be even half the woman that she was, I'll have achieved something grand.
I lost my grandma when I was 11 as well. =( I feel the same way my life would have been so much better/different if she was still around. I don't think anyone will ever replace her, or is like her. I hope someday I can be even half the women she was.... she basicly raised me... I would trade everything I have in life to have one more day with her.
You've practically made me cry. To be honest since I'm on IIN I have always picture you as a sort of robot. But I was wrong. I feel the same for my aunt who died some years ago. She raised me and I called her mum..
what are you missing?
