cosmolinguistI'm weirdly delighted at this card my grandma got Andrew for his birthday.
He didn't bother punching out and assembling the paper airplane, but I did!
"Maybe it's because she thinks of us as going to visit on a plane?" Andrew said when he'd opened the card and was telling me about the paper airplane in it.
It certainly makes me think of that, now.
I miss my grandma. It was nice to see her handwriting again. She doesn't do e-mail or cell phones or anything, but she used to write occasionally -- it's harder now, because of her eyesight -- and I wrote back, never often enough.
This time of year is often the worst for me missing people. One of the unexpected upsides of university is how much better I've handled the changing of the seasons because of it: I've been too busy to be wistful. But there are moments.
I'll write her a nice letter, thanking her for such a great card.
