Eternal Grandmother

If you are fortunate then you can remember your Grandmother. If you are very fortunate then you can remember two Grandmothers. In some cites there are very old women who go to the store every day, they become a Grandmother of everyone that sees them.

You can move away from a city and not return for years and then, returning home, you think, “I hope I get to see that old woman again,” even though you may not even know her name.

Buildings are just the same, we return to them after a passage of years and think, “I’m glad to see that you are still standing.”
