My Grandmother is nearing the end of her journey.

[MFM008]

13. your there for one thing.

I never met 3 of my 4 grandparents. My dads mom died in her 60s ...booze, drinking got his dad to in his 40s. Hard drinking irish...
My moms dad died in the 60s of throat cancer...smoking.
I only met my moms mom 3 times. It took 20 some years and the 2 of them on one of Oprah's 'reuniting' shows in 1989 to speak to each other.
See, her family broke up in the 40's,there were 10 kids including 5 older ones, 5 younger ones and and no one bothered to find my mom a home, she was the only one farmed out to a foster home. She joined the Army.
She didnt forgive easily. Her mother died in 1993. So I never really knew any of them.
