There isn't a pregnant silence now when she comes up... but smiles, wistful ones, or sighs, but the best kind.... The kind when you remember to remember.

You may have noticed that I cannot seem to help talking about my Grama. I notice when I go home though that I get those pregnant silences when I mention her. I always feel like I shouldn't have mentioned her but it just comes natural to me. Right out of my mouth without thinking. I think I make the others uncomfortable though.

Maybe.... they may not know what to say, and that might make them uncomfortable.... But I doubt it is the thought of Grama that is uncomfortable.

Jess is the exact same way about her recently deceased Grandma. She had pretty much raised Jess since she was about 4 years old, so they had a very strong bond.

Jess'll catch herself sometimes saying, "Now what would Gramma do in this situation?"
