My grandmother was one of the most powerful influences in my life. She grew up in Liverpool, England and met my grandfather when serving as a soldier in the Royal Army during WWII. They moved back to America after that to start a life and family together. She lived and loved fiercely. She was smart and funny and kind and patient and constantly in charge all at the same time. I will do well in this life if I am a bit like her. I will miss her everyday, but I know she would want me to get on with things and love my kids and be happy. She always wanted to know if we were all happy-and not just to reassure her, but so she could help us figure it out if we were not. I will lean on the strength she gave me now.
