That was beautiful. I only have one grandma left, and that thought goes through my head A LOT, and you captured that so beautifully.
Lucky both you and Pam had someone waiting for you!
Author's Response: Thanks, Hannah! My last grandmother died after about six long, horrible years of illness combined with dementia and massive stress/depression/mental unhinging following my grandfather's death, so when she went it was actually a relief. I miss her a lot though, and have since long before she actually passed. My other one died when I was 12 and I sometimes wonder how I'd have turned out if she'd been around.

Aww, what a beautiful and melancholy chapter. I loved it, albeit short. And I understand the feeling of losing all of your grandparents, it happened to be by the time I was seven, so I grew up having none.
On a happier note, I look forwards to the last chapter, and I'm crossing my fingers that it's a continuation of this evening (such as Jim makes Pam dinner) or breakfast the next morning with references of this evening... *crosses toes, too*
Author's Response: So sorry to hear that. I miss having grandparents.
And I did think about incorporating your idea, but it just wasn't coming to me in a way that flowed. Sometimes the story tells me what it wants to be.
Thanks, as always. I enjoy hearing from you.

Short and bittersweet, ivy. Pam lost someone she loved, but one has come back into her circle. I love visuals. Thanks!
Author's Response: Exactly, Nan. Thank you so much for writing.
