336/365

Frances: You were my grandma. When I was little and
my mom took you to get your hair done downtown, you'd
always give me quarters... back then,that was a big deal.
And you always wore red lipstick and red nail polish. I
always wanted to wear your rings and other pieces of jewelry,
they were so pretty and big! And at Christmas time, you'd
stuff our stockings with treats like candy, oranges and
walnuts. I miss you... the last time I saw you was at
your funeral.
