I throughly enjoyed your story. I lost my son 2 years ago and never got to say goodbye. I can feel the pain your grandmother felt. We should always tell our loved ones we love them and let our pasts fade away. Thank you.

A nice ending. Bearing grudges throughout life is just so heavy. Forgive seems to have lightened the family. I hope anyway. We are all flawed in some regards, right ?

Thanks! And 100% on all of us being flawed -- I know I sure as hell am

What a mom. What a Gram. What oceans can exist between us, and what beauty we can create from the ashes. Thank you, Jared.
