My grandmother died at age 94, and she was still in command of all unf her marbles, and then some. I asked another noder yesterday why I'm so grumpy. Sickness, fatigue, working too hard, the world is a little bit too much with me, as usual, but there's more, unf and until yesterday I had not put my finger on it. My life is being taken up unf in damned coffee spoons again. I just miss my mother. I'm 39, about to turn 40, and I want my mother. I want her laughter, her voice on the telephone, to show her my garden, to tell her about my work, to show her my writing, to take her to Florence. I do not have the words to tell you how much I loved her, and what an incredible person she was. The more I watch other people's kids, and the tools they bring to being a parent, the more I think she was a feminist ahead of her time. I will be sending an easter basket to a friend.
