and the Vedas say, and we all say, too, it would've been your 97th birthday day today

photo inscribed by my grandmother for my grandfather:
"To Leonard darling, with all my love, Hannah"


My grandmother, her only daughter, and her only daughter's only daughter were all born under the first sign of the zodiac. Our terrestrial bodies (1913, 1954, 1979) are pulled by the tides of the same celestial bodies.

This morning, my mother said, "I can't imagine what she would look like. I wish I knew. It has been such a long, long time."
