My grandfather passed away on January 5, 2013. He was admitted to Vidyasagar Institute of Mental Health, Neuro & Allied Sciences (VIMHANS), New Delhi, on May 04, 2011 after he suffered a brain stroke at home. After that , he is...

Christmas Eve. I seem to spend a lot of time thinking about the past, especially since I got on EP. This morning, after a late night of good music, good beer and an early morning of black coffee and Tylenol my thoughts turn to my mother...

My relationship with my grandmother was far from perfect. She was a difficult woman to love, but she loved us all so much.  And we loved her.  It was just really hard to show it most of the time.  
She was always trying to play the...

All growing up I had a lot of grandparents, but I only had two that really meant very much to me. I want to share my love and respect for them, tell you both their stories as grandmothers...

Grandmama-

Honestly she was the...

I miss my grandmother very much. More than I ever expected to.

My grandma was a harsh mother. She had six children, who all were yelled at, spanked, and if they didn't get the dishes just right, they had to do them all over again...

This one's for you, GRAM. You are the one who made me who I am....

Due to divorce of my Mom and my Stepdad, and to my Mom's mental illness, our family ( Mom, my younger Sister, and myself ) suffered financial hardships. My Mom was...

The last time of my summer vacation I spent with my grandmother since I knew that would be the last time I ever saw her in my life. August came and it was time for me to go to America as an exchange student. I had to say good bye to my...

i can relate-my grandma raised me,for my mother wanted to leave me in the hospital when i was born,because my dad was a black man,my grandma brought me home to her house,and she raised me-I appreciate the time I had with her-she is gone...

I miss my Nanna - She is a great lady. She currently resides in a home and has very advanced damencia. This has made it very challenging for my entire family.

I miss my Mom's Mom. She was a  such petite woman but had a heart of gold. She could make so many things. She was very creative. She could make just about  any type of clothing by making her own pattern. I get my ability...

I was closer to my Grandmother than I have ever been to my mother.
 
We lived with her and then she lived with us. She was very polite and very kind. And always very much the lady! Not "put on airs and graces", but just natural and...

It was at 00:30. It feels really strange, she was in hospital and I was going to visit her tomorrow but she died before I got a chance to see her and at the moment I feel like I'm wading through sand.

I hope this doesn't come across...

She died a month ago and I'm still struggling with the loss.
This feels a little selfish as at the end she was suffering.
She was 102 years old and bed ridden at the end.
But very special to me.
She was my mother's mother and my mother...

On December 14th 2012 My grandma had a stroke. My grandfather called that night asking mom to come over, he was having trouble with grandma, we thought maybe she was just being difficult (she worried and fussed about everything it...

when I was 10 i was depressed and the only peoson who could cheer me up was my grandma. One night we where walking into the forest and we layed down in a patch of grass and I asked grandma when we die do we become a star? my grandma...

My Grandma could sew like nobody's business.  She didn't do it for a living, but I suppose she could have.  She sewed most of her own clothes.  I'm not talking moo-moos here.  She made fabulous tailored suits for...

She was the only person who ever showed me any form of compassion as a kid really. I used to love when I got to go to her house I could tell her things I couldn't tell anyone else. She made me feel like I was worth something and that I...

Memory.
She is lying on the couch watching Mary Poppins, with her cousin even though she knew it was stupid, and was struggling to stay awake; fighting sleep. The last thing she remembers is the carousel, bright and spinning; the white...

I miss her dearly. She was the only grandparent I ever knew.
It was her 8th year anniversary since her passing away on the 9th of Feb. But there is not a day that I do not think about her.
Always in my heart. I have cherished every...

My grandmother was among the last of her kind; a true lady. She was gentle in her words and actions. She rarely had a harsh word to say about anyone. Even when she chastised me, it usually ended or began with 'child' though I was 32...
