Now clearly I don't want to forget my Bamma. But I want to forget losing her. Actually, for many years after she passed I just pretended that she was still alive and I just hadn't seen her for awhile. I think I avoided going back to Ontario to visit (I was living in Whistler at the time) for a couple of years so that I didn't have to face up to The Farm without Her.
Losing her changed me, and changed my entire family. I am very grateful to have been her most favorite grandchild (y'all know it's true!) and I will never forget her.
She did leave us Poppa tho and he is pretty darn awesome.
