NOTES : I miss my short, plump Grandma Pruski. When I am low, I imagine her hugging me and resting my head on her large breasts. She used to buy us ice cream drumsticks, and I still get a catch in my throat when I eat one. She and I both loved Shirley Temple movies. We would call each other when one was on and discuss it afterwards. I know she looks down on me and prays for me from heaven.
