grandma + grandpa


grandma + grandpa, originally uploaded by marinatina.

So I was up north last weekend for my grandma's burial. I wrote a bunch of things about how it was at least three hundred percent harder than I thought it would be, but then I deleted it, because yuck.

Instead, enjoy this photo of my grandparents. My very straight-laced grandparents, who were 60+ when I was born and pretty much the platonic ideal of reserved Midwesterners. We always knew how much they loved each other, though I don't think I ever saw them show any affection to each other ever, and yes, it is pretty amazing to see how happy they were together. Amazing in a way that makes me cry, but still, amazing. I love my family a whole lot.

    so sorry about how hard it was, but it's good that you wrote it down, even to delete it after the fact.
