She was old and crazy, and I was young and busy.
I miss trying out new recipes on her, and surprising her with cookies...
I should have been more understanding when she accused me of dumb things and "told on me" for stealing things. Like 2 dollars or her bra stuffers.
Though her crazies did make for some family giggle-fits and great stories. Like the time we tried to take her on a family vacation. The place we wound up staying had carpet just like her old condo and she thought we were living there. She was planning on moving out about 30 minutes into our stay. The altitude made her brain work funny.
I guess I just still feel guilty because I didn't appreciate her when she appreciated me.
Somedays she loved me for taking care of her. Others, she hated me for not letting her drive.
But really, I should have said goodbye. Or at least been in-town when it went down.
I'm just thinking about it because today I bought a new laptop with the money she left me, and it's wrapped under the tree. Thank you grandma Marion. <3
