I loved this piece. I had a great grandma Tiny who had a tiny apartment and unfortunately passed when I was 3000 miles away at 24 years of age. Before my mother recently died I read to her some of her maternal grandmother's cards to me in the few years before she died. My mom said, "She revealed more to you than I ever remember her revealing herself at all during our life together." TIny loved it when I would come to see her. When I was 20 I got into a big auto accident after I left her place thinking I might never see her again. But I did.

My mom loved me to read my writing to her. She would always tell me how I described things that everyone feels but few people talk about. I've never thought about speaking my work out loud, but mom and others have told me when I read my work, it really comes alive. Thank you for writing this piece. Really loved it!
