Kate Grandma told me that she prayed for me during my race, and that she had a horrible dream last night. It took place when my brother and I were little, 4 and 5, and she took us to a huge office building, and then lost us, and spent a long time walking about and trying to find us, which she never did. She told this in great detail and with great emotion. But as I was thinking back, I can't remember what she was like when she could walk. After two strokes, she uses a walker and is very hunched over, but in a grandmotherly sort of way. I remember how she would babysit us, and use our washing machine and dryer in the basement and then play with us downstairs while she waited. And then I remember her having to use a cane. Whenever I see old pictures of her when she walked, I can't seem to connect this image of her and my mental present image. But whatever you look like, Grandma, I love you. And I'm so glad you live next door so that I can talk to you and you can always have cookies and pop, even though they are bad for my running, and you always fluff up the coshions of "my chair" right before I come over. Thanks for the times that you've found me a quilt and talked to me when I was sick, and for always liking whatever new dress or new haircut I get. 020823 ... sylvia plath walking has never fazed me. i just set out in the right direction, counting the blocks under my breath 020903 ... daxle emus were made for it 020903 ...
