put my head in a lion’s jaw

by Pippa ~ December 31st, 2006. Filed under: adelaide, love.

Dad isn’t the kind of guy to get flustered, or to admit that he’s upset. But I wish wish wish that I could be there to give him hugs and help.

I woke up about half an hour ago. My dad rang to let me know that Minnie, my grandmother and friend had died. I’m sad, but because she was so diminished by age, I am incredibly relieved.

Minnie was 99. But she used to be young.
