A little over 4 years, and I feel my grandmother is still missed. Hattie wasn’t easy. In fact she could be very mean and troublesome. I know she could be abusive. But I really miss her. She connected our family in some strange way. Now that Mary is also gone, there are fewer of us. don’t know my cousins. i don’t know their children. I don’t know my extended family. Harriet taught us how to make a divide. But I don’t want to honor her in that way anymore. Please feel free to reach out to me if you want to, well communicate, in any way. Thanks.
