This is the one about Grandma’s ovaries.

Posted October 29th, 2009 by Mike Lawson

I was sitting with a 12 year old this afternoon and we were talking about some Dia de Muertos stuff and he was telling me about his Grandma that passed away a couple of months ago.  This is what he told me verbatim:

“My Grandma died in June.  She always ate unhealthy, and she had clogged ovaries in her heart.”

The kid just poured it out for me.  This was a recent death, and he was still dealing with losing her and he was talking about making an altar for her because he missed her so much.  And when he looks over to me, I can’t stop smiling.  I’m a jerk.
