It took me a very long time to realize that my grandma was the special person in my life I always felt close to. She lived in a travel trailer parked in a small trailer park not far from where my parents had their business. Sometimes when I visited her she would play the harmonica and the ukulele and sing a song. It was amazing. She had a myna bird that could talk and a little silver hammer she used to crack ice to make iced tea. Though she died many years ago she’ll always be in my heart.
