It's easy to forget about the people who are near you every day. Don't take them for granted. They are the answer to all your problems, in a way. My grandmother hugged me today. We both cried over my dying grandfather and her dying soulmate. This death will bind us, bind the time I took for granted---No more of that. I have made a pact to take care of her damaged heart--differently damaged, beautifully damaged heart. It's broken like my grandfather's, who has a short time-span. I'm as scared as he is.
