ahh. works every time

Tonight I was hanging out with my mother and my grandmother, searching the internet for people who have basically fallen off the face of the earth. People who used to call.

We searched the white pages. We ran maiden names past Google. I even checked the obituaries. (Talk about falling off the face of the Earth) At the end of the day, all the trails ran cold. Finally, my Mom just opened up that trusty little phone book of hers and scrolled down her own, neat handwriting. She found one of my Nonna's old Florida friends and put her on the phone. She answered. My grandmother lit up. No luck on the initial search, except for word Gloria may have moved to Mascouche. Still, it was enough to get her smiling. And out of the clouds.
