I found out that my maternal grandmother wants to meet me! That she's kind of excited about me! I am the only child of the daughter she lost eighteen months ago to cancer. I have now seen pictures of the whole family, and they are...beautiful. Very well-coifed sort of people. I feel like the poor relation, even though I do clean up nice. :) If I meet my aunt and grandmother at my grandmother's house -- yeesh. She lives in a big house in a VERY well-to-do suburb here. A leeeeeetle intimidating.
I can't describe the feelings I had when I first, finally laid eyes on a photograph of my mother. Searching. Searching. Looking back at me in a swimsuit with a big, big, smile. Tears. Wanted to crawl into the photograph to be in her arms...and maybe cry some more.
