Your words touched my heart. I lost my grandma around this time last year, and I still simultaneously feel her presence and long for it. Thank you for writing about yours— I loved reading about her.

Oh, honey, big hugs from me!💕 Your grandma looks and sounds like she was a real character (best compliment ever), and I am so very sorry for your loss.

I love that you turned to scent as a connection to her, showing how closely smell is tied to our memories.

Let the grief come, and hold tight to the memories. I was inordinately happy to see you use “palimpsest”, so yes, Esque’s gran, some of the readers do get it.🥰😉
