the beginning of my story
____________________
Gran is such a neat freak. Whenever I take a drink upstairs, she says, “That is going to make a mess, Eva.” If I don’t keep my room perfectly clean, she says, “This is a total pigsty, Eva.” It gets a little annoying, not that I’m complaining. Gran has been really good to me. She doesn’t do the pinch the cheeks, bear hug thing. She is a fairly cool grandmother now that I think about it. It is just a little awkward without my mom or dad around.
Gran sometimes visits dad, but I haven’t been able to bring myself to go. It is too hard to see his scarred face, knowing he can’t see mine. I visited a few times after the accident, but as more time passes, there is less and less hope for his recovery. It hurts too much to see so weak and fragile. I would rather remember as that big, strong man who would lift me up off the air for a hug and gave me piggy back rides when I felt tired. He was my real life superhero. That is how I want to remember him.
