A beautiful, loving homage to your grandmother through memories and imagined ways her hands showed love.

My Gramma, Lillian, was a huge part of my life. We lived with her until my mother remarried when I was six. Like you, I had many loving moments with her over the years until she died at age 97. Sadly, I wasn't with her, but had just visited for Christmas (when she was living with my mother in San Diego). I'm forever grateful that I made that trip to CA, never expecting it might be the last time I ever saw her.

Loving memories of your grandmother, as always. Beautiful haiku poems!
