Grossi's Birthday Comes Around Again

She would have been 88.  It's unimaginable that it has been almost 7 years since she took the big step.  I wonder where her Soul is now, and what it's doing.  And is Pappy involved?  What a pair!  You think you don't miss them that much, and then an expression or a pose (or a glimpse in the mirror out of the corner of your eye) brings a flash of remembrance... and sadness...or humor, depending.   It makes me think, too, that all that I have would not be here to make my life easy (never simple), but for her and Pappy.  And Pappy would not have been in my life but for Grossi.  For those things, I owe them a huge debt of gratitude.  Happy Birthday, Grossi, wherever you are!
