- my crazy nan with the most eclectic religious views who did reflexology and raised aloe plants and had giant cacti and ate off of the same plates as her dogs and had weird infatuations with indians and unicorns and elvis presley and touched by an angel and owned a bar and rode horses and dated a CIA agent and had the most dry sense of humour and collected quarters for us and religiously fed the raccoons and the deer in the backyard and always took in any stray animal and made great big ben's soda floats and bought vanilla ice cream in 20 gallon increments and "YOU DON'T SMELL NUTHIN" and yard work and swimming in the pool and cookouts and cats and crazy dogs and riding in the beat up golden van with the red hood and no seats in the back and catching salamanders in the woods and driving fast on the bumpy back road on the way to her house and how i really believed her when she said she was going to beat it.
- CLEO, BUBBA, lucy, diamond, rosie, ralph, jack, chocka, choogie, chiko, cinnamon, sophie, holly (little bitch), cole, abby, brennin's neighbour's dog with a weird name like muttsley or something who always came over to her yard and played with us, bo, calvin, lillian, iggy, countless other animals i have loved so dearly.
- al who had a terrible temper but never used it on us and made incredible italian food and forced us to eat every bit of it and always went to the clubs and then to the store "to get the vittles" for us and took us on sunday drives and watched golf and football with us and stayed up all night and read or watched tv and loved america's most wanted and war movies and always told us stories from the twenties and thirties and told incredibly corny jokes and got extremely jealous and angry when any man in the grocery store was kind to my 80 year old grandma.
- grammie (before her dementia days) and cleaning the house and going for rides and playing bunco and war and being a waitress and making her sandwiches and "make sure she doesn't fall out of bed!" and sleeptalking and solitaire at 4am and "don't let anyone in the house, especially those gypsies" and great depression stories and war stories and love stories and beautiful ignorance and turning the heat up to 90 degrees and hawaiian birthday cakes and baking and cooking and sleepovers and soap operas and lame british comedies and so much love.
- playing bunco and war with grammie.
- my sister when she was a human and we balled around NYC every weekend and walked 400 blocks nightly so we wouldn't have to pay for parking and central park at 4am and driving on back roads and singing and judging prospective boyfriends harshly and solitaire competitions and sleeping together and "JUST SAYIN" and "GET OUT OF THE BED THERE ARE BEETLES EVERYWHERE!" and sleeping in the golden room and doing PANTS and playing the itunes shuffle game (BITCHES BREW 2703 HELL YEAH) and SAVE THE CATS FROM THE LAVA and "let's punch a hole in our wall so we can talk through it" and diet coke and mentos and nancy and clara getting us everything we wanted and yeah.
