"Loss makes me feel nostalgic. Having lost both my grandmothers before I was 16 had a great impact on me. When I return to their former neighborhoods and see how their homes have changed, or smell the brand of perfume, or read a recipe book they hand wrote I feel nostalgic for the relationship we had. I mourn the wisdom they could have passed down. I crave their core but am only reminded with the surface, earthly, material things I associate with them.

"I was leaving my grandparent’s house and my grandfather waved goodbye as I drove away, it instantly triggered a memory of leaving my Great Aunt’s house: every time our visit came to an end, she’d stand at her doorway, and wave hugely with both arms, blowing kisses as we drove away, until we could no longer see her.
