Granny and I were very close.
When Granny moved into a home my brother and his wife moved into Granny's house.
When Granny's house was sold I was abroad. I was asked if there was anything I wanted as a keepsake. I named a couple of things which are being kept for me somewhere. Nothing of value. Nothing Granny had was worth a bean.
Am now staying with my brother and wife for a few days. Granny's things are everywhere. Everywhere. It does make sense. They were setting up home and needed stuff. I was far away. But... I am finding it hard. I loved Granny so much. All of there things have enormous significance to me. Brother and wife, not so much.
My special cereal bowl from when I was little.
Grandad's favourite mug.
All Granny's vases. Nothing of value. Just hers.
Things I made for her.
Birthday presents I gave her.
Her cream jug.
The chopping board with the bit missing.
I keep telling myself not to be so silly, and then I spy her garden scissors and I feel winded.
I miss her so much.
