She was my caretaker, my competition, my soul advisor, my companion, my arch nemesis, and my best friend.
We spoke on the phone often before dementia took its hold. When paranoia struck, it struck at me, personally, hard and fast. In a way, it makes sense; why wouldn't she choose her most trusted confidante as the enemy she couldn't name?
The biggest enemy of ALL of mankind is his or her own mind, and now that she's free of her body, perhaps she's free from the constraints of a human mind as well.
Fly free and without fear, without dis-ease, without the complications of a human mind. Fly with an open heart and open soul, and catch you on the flip side, Grandma.
