Supergran

On the 4th of July, at 2am, i was standing at a bar trying to decide whether i could afford another drink or to get a pie instead. On the other side of the planet, at 3pm, my Nan left. she finally said goodbye at 96 years old, and im so sad i wasnt there.

Nan was so amazing at being a grandmother, it's very difficult to put into words what made her so special to me.

i'm remembering you standing at your bedroom window Nan. im in my car, and i start to drive away, and i turn back and you are smiling and waving, and we blow each other kisses. i will miss you very much. Goodbye nan.
