What Would You Say To A Special Person If You Could Go Back In Time

Looking for the Light

I thought about my grandparents the other day and thought of all the questions I would ask if I had a chance.

I was like a child to my grandparents due to traumatic experiences. I was 14 years old when I went to live with them permanently.

This photo is of granny, step-brother Ricki, and me, dig that shirt!

My granny looked from afar when I was very young, looking for abuse. My granny knew child abuse was happening but could not a finger on anything. She probably saved my life at six months old. My mother left me in the tub full of water and went downstairs to talk with my granny, after a few minutes of talking my granny asked where I was. Oh, she is upstairs in the bathroom.

I would ask my granny how being legally blind has affected her life.

Was it frustrating always to have to have someone take you?

I would ask about how she survived the war while raising a child by herself.

My grandparents were so good to me and my friends at boarding school. Every Wednesday was parents group. They were there every week for the full years I was there. She even sent brownies to our dorm or loads of candy, everyone in my hall looked forward to Wednesday nights.

My granny was the strongest person I know, she could do anything except prevent her death.

  2. This is beautiful Melinda. I love seeing you when you were young. Your granny looks sweet and kind. Wise as well on the lookout for abuse. Thank goodness for your granny with the mother you had. I wonder is your mother still alive today.
