When I'm awfully low,

And the world is cold (smiley - doh, January)

I will feel a glow

just thinking of you,

and the way you look tonight.

But who among us hasn't had a defining moment with another person, someone who vanished into the mists of time? The only remaining trace of their existence as we perceived it is in our memories....

The first person who made an impression on me was my grandmother. I remember how her smile was like the sun bursting forth from behind a cloud. I wished she could live forever, and she came closer than most. She survived a fall down a flight of stairs, a nervous breakdown, the depression, having her sons away at war in the 1940s, serious circulation problems in her mid-seventies. And she still made it to 93.
