For my maternal grandmother, close to the end of her life.
For my mum.
For my aunts and relatives.
A strange feeling for me. I did not know nanna until my teenage years due to my maternal grandfather's remarriage; the fact I had another nanna was not spoken of until the grandmother I knew passed away when a new nanna entered my life. I do love her deeply, while at the same time feeling, God forgive me, slightly disconnected and as if she is unknown in some ways; unknown in that I have not sought as much as I probably should have to know her. She has had a hard, and long, life; and painful stories of the past are still being revealed to my mum from contacts and investigations she has made to find out more about her.
Lord, have mercy.
