RE: The Stories She Gave Me: On books and the death of my grandmother
Sadly, the saying that "only after we lose something, we actually understand how valuable it is/was to us" is true every time.
A person is immortal as long as we speak and have memory of him or her. If that person is a part of our family, an ancestor, than we are the actual living proof that this person is still alive. He or she lives through us.
A part of your grandmother will always be alive through you and the generations to follow.
Your post was actually a food for the thought, so thank you. I will follow you for more !
It's true that we are proof of those who came before us. Even richer is that when they had healthy dreams, we can work to achieve them in their honor.
