There are many things i don't want to forget about my granma, but here are some of the most important ones
- she taught me poker when i was 8
- we used to make train tickets on school paper and pretend to go on trips on the Orient Express (when she died, i looked for them everywhere but couldn't find them. so i made her tickets to London so she could come visit and left them with her. after the funeral i finally found the tickets)
- she smelled like pressed powder and YSL's Opium.
- she was nuts, in the best possible way
- she was never old
- she didn't like having her picture taken by surprise
- she was always nagging my granpa, and then threatening to leave him - and then saying he was the best man alive.
- the way she danced with my granpa in the old people's house
- the letters she sent me were always filled with funny things and puns and double entendres
- her amazing cooking
Really the list goes on and on and on.
