My Grandma
‘Help will be always be given to people at Hogwarts who need it.’
Professor Albus Dumbledore,
The Half Blood Prince.
Like Professor Dumbledore, Grandma is always there for us in the
face of adversity. Grandma is there for our failures, tears and despair.
She even sat up with me till midnight correcting my linear equations
homework.
Grandma is extremely dedicated to all of her family members.
She goes to the ends of the earth to make everything right. When
her father was suffering from dementia she went through fire and
water to maximise the quality and happiness in his life, even when
this meant fighting bloody wars with the Director of Nursing. Last
year she sat up into the early hours of the morning making my
Elizabethan cuffs for Notables’ Day.
Grandma can be single minded and rebellious but she will go to
any length to make everything right. Though difficult at times,
Grandma is an incredible person. She is a firework bursting colours,
passion and noise!
