Ok Gram, a few thoughts:
I remember the sunporch as if it were Sleeping Beauty's
balcony, with thorny vines climbing up and around it. It always seemed sunny
and dusty and blissfully comfortable.
Sneaking out on those summer nights for a
"chocolate" with Susie and Gretchen, ascending the enchanted stone
steps between the dark houses, and sitting on the grass in that amazing round
park at the summit of Syracuse. And talking endlessly about boys (sigh!).
Gram seemed unconcerned with material things - it seemed to
me that the only possession of importance to her was the Bracelet, which
represented her love for all of us and each of us.
She was a great example of disinterested and abiding love -
she cared about us a lot without either doting on us or badgering us.
Gram proved that you really can live in the moment,
contentedly.
