More Mail From the Past

My grandmother--who, yes, i do indeed remember--was a huge part of my life, loving and nurturing and bragging on me all the time. So it's not a slam, but rather a simple fact, when I say she was one of the World's Most Negative People.

Which is why I started laughing out loud when I picked up the card (which had a check inside) that she sent to me in Scotland that year for Hanukkah. Here is the message she included, in its entirety:

Hi Hon.

This is your Hanukkah and birthday gift. I didn't want to make out another draft. It's really a pain.

Love you a lot, Grandma

Yeah, I know. It's hard to believe I would say she was negative, right?
