"Did you have a close relationship with any of your grandparents? Tell about it. "
I used to feel the safest and the best with my Grandma S. She was my maternal grandmother.
She died when I was 14, but I used to visit her a lot and hang out with her, and we were buddies when I was growing up.

I cannot believe that it's almost halfway through November, almost halfway through
NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month). During NaNoWriMo, the goal is to write
50, 000 words in a 30 day period, from November 1 until the 30th. If you break it down,
that's 1667 words a day. By today I should ha... Comment - Like
