For my English honors class I have to write a memoir, the first person than came to mind was my grandma that passed away a few years ago. My grandfather had been in the Navy before they were married. My grandparents wrote letters to each other every week and even played a "game of chess". I am fortunate enough that my grandma saved my grandpa's half of the letter and we got them when she passed away. As my grandparents goy divorced when my mom was very young no one knows where my grandma's half of the letters are. I am so thankful for this writing project, it has taken me on such a journey that I never thought possible. Reading through the letters I've felt every emotion possible, fear, happiness, anger, excitment. I would like to believe that in a way I'm connected to my grandma once again. Not only have I learned more and more about the navy that I previously knew, I've dove back in time in music, fashion, technology, anything I could get my hands on. I'd like to believe both of my grandparents would be proud of me for sticking to this and believing in their story. As I draw near the end of my memoir I am sad however extremely happy looking back at where I started to how far I've come. Once I've finished it and handed it in for class I plan on publishing it here for other people to read. Hopefully inspiring you to do something similar and have one the the most emotional experiences of your life.
