The Boy in the Black Suit 2015-01-06T00:00:00Z Boomer is on Gram’s bed, and I think he has finally given up on her coming back again, because he doesn’t cry when he sees that it’s me and not her.

It matches, Fina. The handwriting matches the journal’s.” How to Disappear Completely 2020-04-28T00:00:00Z I need to look on the bright side, as Gram always said.

I mean, I know you were there to work, but, were you there!” she asked. The Boy in the Black Suit 2015-01-06T00:00:00Z Gram used to say that you should never trust a man in clean boots. Dumplin' 2015-09-15T00:00:00Z "I wish you'd tie those laces, dear," Gram says when I'm squishing around in the new shoes. Freak The Mighty 1993-10-01T00:00:00Z I would write a chapter over the weekend, and when I went home for the week, Gram would read what I had written and write the next chapter, until we finished the whole story together. How to Disappear Completely 2020-04-28T00:00:00Z Tears were streaming down Gram’s face she was giggling so hard. Walk Two Moons 1994-06-30T00:00:00Z I tell Fina about how Gram always carried a parasol and wore these long flowy dresses and how that made kids in the village think she was a witch but she didn’t mind.

Dumplin' 2015-09-15T00:00:00Z She never spoke to Gram as far as I could tell, but this morning she’s in the back pew, next to a family with two little kids I don’t recognize. How to Disappear Completely 2020-04-28T00:00:00Z It’s actually really weird seeing another person here who isn’t Gram. How to Disappear Completely 2020-04-28T00:00:00Z “People are always afraid of things they don’t understand, darlin’,” said Gram. How to Disappear Completely 2020-04-28T00:00:00Z This way, I’ll have a little bit of Gram with me. How to Disappear Completely 2020-04-28T00:00:00Z I had just finished telling Gram and Gramps about the mysterious message when Gramps pulled off the freeway. Walk Two Moons 1994-06-30T00:00:00Z Gram told me once when I asked why we couldn’t walk down there, and the answer was boring enough that I quickly lost interest. How to Disappear Completely 2020-04-28T00:00:00Z I wanted the truth, and I knew Gram would give it to me. How to Disappear Completely 2020-04-28T00:00:00Z “I don’t have any symptoms! Grams is coming, she is, I swear—she’ll tell you, please!” The Darkest Minds 2012-12-18T00:00:00Z Freak, he's looking over her shoulder at me looking over Gram's shoulder, and he gives me the thumbs-up as she carries him away. Freak The Mighty 1993-10-01T00:00:00Z And I know she’s trying to make me feel better, but all I can think is that I wish she were Gram. How to Disappear Completely 2020-04-28T00:00:00Z I always thought that Gram was my best friend in the world. How to Disappear Completely 2020-04-28T00:00:00Z Which is sweet, since I don’t think he and Gram were particularly close. How to Disappear Completely 2020-04-28T00:00:00Z “It’s weird. I probably should be, but I guess...it doesn’t feel like that much has actually changed. I always knew Gram was amazing at coming up with stories.” How to Disappear Completely 2020-04-28T00:00:00Z “Briar Hollow Lane? I thought there was nothing down there but a water treatment shed. That’s what Gram told me.” How to Disappear Completely 2020-04-28T00:00:00Z Gram is always saying that, well well, like it means something, which I guess it does to her. Freak The Mighty 1993-10-01T00:00:00Z And I have the strongest feeling that somewhere, Gram is really, really proud of me. How to Disappear Completely 2020-04-28T00:00:00Z Well enough for the Apple Lady to write that Gram was her “best friend” in her inscription. How to Disappear Completely 2020-04-28T00:00:00Z From Gram’s front yard, you can see the church—with its wobbly steeple and ancient bell—to the left, and the village hall—with its cheery red brick and bulletin board—to the right. How to Disappear Completely 2020-04-28T00:00:00Z The boy woke me up at six o’clock and said Gram was much better. Walk Two Moons 1994-06-30T00:00:00Z “Oh,” Gram said, “is that the end of the Peeby story?” Walk Two Moons 1994-06-30T00:00:00Z “Gram told me about her. She said she was a great teacher.” How to Disappear Completely 2020-04-28T00:00:00Z “Maybe I did sometimes,” I say slowly, “but not Gram. I don’t think Gram looked down on anybody.” How to Disappear Completely 2020-04-28T00:00:00Z And the girl—the girl is a teenaged Gram. How to Disappear Completely 2020-04-28T00:00:00Z On the day after Gram was buried, her friend Gloria—the one Gram thought was so much like Phoebe, and the one who had a hankering for Gramps—came to visit Gramps. Walk Two Moons 1994-06-30T00:00:00Z The spot appears on the morning of Gram’s funeral.

How to Disappear Completely 2020-04-28T00:00:00Z Once, after she said this, Gramps got a dreamy look on his face and Gram said, “Quit that mooning over Gloria. I know what you’re thinking.” Walk Two Moons 1994-06-30T00:00:00Z “Grams was big on following directions, so let me do just that.” The Boy in the Black Suit 2015-01-06T00:00:00Z I shake my head, wondering what Grams could have to do with anything. A Mango-Shaped Space 2003-04-16T00:00:00Z I kneel on the ground in front of Gram and Grandpa’s grave. How to Disappear Completely 2020-04-28T00:00:00Z At the end of the supper, Gramps picked up Gram in his arms and carried her across the meadow. Walk Two Moons 1994-06-30T00:00:00Z And after I was done, I would run around the wood with them, all of us acting out the story I had just read while Gram watched and laughed. How to Disappear Completely 2020-04-28T00:00:00Z Before she ever brought me here, Gram told me that if there was one thing she believed, it’s that there is magic in the world for those who want to see it. How to Disappear Completely 2020-04-28T00:00:00Z “Maybe she did, and maybe she didn’t,” Gram said. Walk Two Moons 1994-06-30T00:00:00Z When Gramps asked Gram to marry him, she said, “Do you have a dog?” Walk Two Moons 1994-06-30T00:00:00Z It turns out to be a pretty weird Christmas vacation, as you might imagine, and Gram keeps fussing at me and won't let me sleep in the cellar.

Orphan Train 2013-04-02T00:00:00Z Gramps, still in his boxer shorts, and dripping wet, carried Gram into the hospital. Walk Two Moons 1994-06-30T00:00:00Z Gram gives the Fair Gwen this scarf that just happens to match her blouse, and everybody goes ooh and ahh, and then I finally decide what present to open. Freak The Mighty 1993-10-01T00:00:00Z He sounded as if he hadn’t a care in the world, but I knew that he was worried by the way he kept inching in front of me and Gram. Walk Two Moons 1994-06-30T00:00:00Z Probably the most precious thing in the whole world to Gramps—besides Gram—was their marriage bed. Walk Two Moons 1994-06-30T00:00:00Z Gramps was already up, but Gram was lying on the bed, staring at the ceiling. Walk Two Moons 1994-06-30T00:00:00Z Gram and Gramps came to stay with me. Walk Two Moons 1994-06-30T00:00:00Z Whenever we finished a story, Gram would tell me to read it to her in the glade. How to Disappear Completely 2020-04-28T00:00:00Z Like a puddle of milk spilled on Gram’s kitchen table. How to Disappear Completely 2020-04-28T00:00:00Z Gram is buried in the aspen grove where she and Gramps were married. Walk Two Moons 1994-06-30T00:00:00Z Maybe Mango was Grandpa’s parting gift to me, and now they’re in heaven together with Grams. A Mango-Shaped Space 2003-04-16T00:00:00Z I never thought about it being triggered by Gram’s death, though, because “stress” is a word you use to describe how you feel before a big test. How to Disappear Completely 2020-04-28T00:00:00Z That's Gram yelling, and her voice is big and full of tears. Freak The Mighty 1993-10-01T00:00:00Z I wonder how different Gram would be if she’d never gotten vitiligo. How to Disappear Completely 2020-04-28T00:00:00Z They used to call it the New Tenements, but now everybody mostly calls it the New Testaments, which Gram told me has nothing to do with the Bible. Freak The Mighty 1993-10-01T00:00:00Z Gramps carried Gram all the way across the meadow and through the trees and into the clearing where their little house stood. Walk Two Moons 1994-06-30T00:00:00Z I suddenly remember the look Gram used to get sometimes when she was telling me her fairy tales. How to Disappear Completely 2020-04-28T00:00:00Z She grins, and for some reason, I suddenly think again about Gram and me, standing in front of the village hall lights last Thanksgiving. How to Disappear Completely 2020-04-28T00:00:00Z Because having my mysterious pen pal felt like having a little bit of Gram back. How to Disappear Completely 2020-04-28T00:00:00Z Gramps concentrated on the road, and Gram gazed out the window. Walk Two Moons 1994-06-30T00:00:00Z The teacher Gram liked who died so young. How to Disappear Completely 2020-04-28T00:00:00Z Gram was still, her head pressed against the back of the seat and her hands folded in her lap. Walk Two Moons 1994-06-30T00:00:00Z For the first time since Gram died, the house feels really full. How to Disappear Completely 2020-04-28T00:00:00Z Now the Fair Gwen is calling up my Gram, probably to report a great hulking beast that lives in the cellar, and I close up inside, waiting for the worst. Freak The Mighty 1993-10-01T00:00:00Z Mom has felt bad about yelling at me after Gram’s funeral, so I think maybe she’s taking me to the movies or something. How to Disappear Completely 2020-04-28T00:00:00Z Also—although this wasn’t as important—Dad did not trust Gram and Gramps to behave themselves along the way unless they had me with them. Walk Two Moons 1994-06-30T00:00:00Z There's no point in worrying about things you can't change, Gram’s voice chides, and you can't change what people think of you. How to Disappear Completely 2020-04-28T00:00:00Z Gram flopped down on the bed and giggled. Walk Two Moons 1994-06-30T00:00:00Z But if they were really such good friends, how could Gram have let Madeline fade away? How to Disappear Completely 2020-04-28T00:00:00Z Gram’s cottage, with its comfy, over stuffed couches and tabletops cluttered with knickknacks, is probably her worst nightmare. How to Disappear Completely 2020-04-28T00:00:00Z Gram says, "She feels bad about how she treated you, Maxwell, dear, and she wants to make it up to you. You don't have to go, but it would be the right thing to do." Freak The Mighty 1993-10-01T00:00:00Z I sink lower in my seat and fumble in Gram’s satchel for my phone so I can get a look at myself. How to Disappear Completely 2020-04-28T00:00:00Z “You mustn’t ever tell anyone about the Spinney,” Gram had whispered, taking my hand and leading me down the sloping hill to the glade. How to Disappear Completely 2020-04-28T00:00:00Z The Spinney is my favorite place in the world, but the day of Gram’s funeral was the first time I’ve been in a while. How to Disappear Completely 2020-04-28T00:00:00Z She glances up as I trudge in and drop Gram’s bag. How to Disappear Completely 2020-04-28T00:00:00Z At last Gram sighed and said, “Okay, let’s go.” Walk Two Moons 1994-06-30T00:00:00Z Gram and Gramps came to stay with me. Walk Two Moons 1994-06-30T00:00:00Z “Cut that out,” Gram said, rolling over on her side. Walk Two Moons 1994-06-30T00:00:00Z Gramps wanted her to stay another day, but Gram climbed out of bed and said, “Where’s my underwear?” Walk Two Moons 1994-06-30T00:00:00Z I squeeze her hand—gently—because I know it’s what Gram would do if it were me sitting in that chair crying. How to Disappear Completely 2020-04-28T00:00:00Z Maybe she cared more about Gram than I thought. How to Disappear Completely 2020-04-28T00:00:00Z Grim and Gram just look at each other like they can't believe I'm so dumb, and finally Gram says, "Maxwell, dear, make an effort to eat your vegetables."
