Goals for interview with my Grandmother
I want to figure out what it was like for my grandmother. I know that it was really tough for her, but I never really talked to her about it. I remember my mom telling me that towards the end of his life my grandfather would even forget who she was. I know one time my grandmother was laying next to him in his hospital bed while he took a nap, and he woke up. He looked at her and said, "Ma'm I am flattered, but I have a wife," and then proceeded to make her move so his wife wouldn't be upset. It was sweat but also really sad. Part of me wants a love this strong and yet at the same time, my heart breaks at him not remembering her. The point is that I hope that through this experience I get to learn a little bit more about what it was like, honor all that she did, and give her a chance to say things that she might have wanted to say but never did.
I love you Mimi!
