"my grandmother called me yesterday. she said she was sick, that she'd be leaving soon and she wanted to see me. so, i drove up to see her... she told me she was proud of me, that i was strong. i asked her what she meant. she said she'd heard what i'd been going through, that she went through something quite similar. we talked for literally hours... i told her i loved her before i left, and she said she loved me too. she died this morning."
