My Grand Ma
I lived about 159 miles (256 Km) from my Grand Ma! I would first go up with her son for the weekend. As I got older, my parents would drop me off, and I would stay a week or so! When I reached a certain age, I would go by myself first on th,e bus and then on the train! We were always glad to see each other I would spend most of my time with her! Then the time came when God gave her three strokes when she was in the hospital with everyone standing around her bed. She knew no one! The first thing I did was to walk into her room and say Hi, Grand Ma. She said that is my Billy S. I would know him anywhere! From that moment on, the relatives who lived by her and were not recognized resented me passionately! At that time, I didnot thinkw I was adopted! Which I believe made things a lot worse! Even though not related by blood, she was my Grand Ma and always shall be My Grand Ma!
