 NOTES : I miss my short, plump Grandma Pruski.  When I am low, I imagine
 her hugging me and resting my head on her large breasts.  She used to
 buy us ice cream drumsticks, and I still get a catch in my throat when I
 eat one.  She and I both loved Shirley Temple movies.  We would call
 each other when one was on and discuss it afterwards.  I know she looks
 down on me and prays for me from heaven.
