Grandma also had me over to "play" with you often and she was blamed many times in our household for things she did not do or say. I think her kids and their spouses found fault with her because she cared for us and tried to love all of us - even though "you" were the special one. I think Grandma saw fault in Granny Wall's treatment of her own children and their kids (Aunt Betty and Frankie) and therefore did the same with our father's and uncle Tim and the 4 of us - you being the only male. I think it is great that your mom treated Grandma with a little respect that she deserves and should have had all these years. See, I love Grandma more than she will ever know (even if I tell her everyday). We were close at times and have a lot of things in common (music types, cars...). She chose to spend more time with you than the other 3 - but she did the best she knew how from the example she was given from her mother...see where I'm going. Age makes everyone equal - Grandma and your mom are now equal in many ways but the biggest - they are now "Grandmothers". I love you lots and always will!! In many ways I love you more than even Grandma can!! Maybe things will get better for your mom and Grandma and in turn they open up more to you!! I guess that makes me #2 or #3 or #4 or #5 or #6…on your family list - just kidding!!
