those are my childhood memories i have of my grandmother and her house in mississippi. despite the physical distance from her, i never felt too far away just because i have some some very 'kelly' and 'gray' personality traits. i hope she has been reunited with all the others in her life that have moved on- especially my grandfather. we love you and we'll miss you granna.
