I didn’t change the story in my mind to make my grandma Edith less scary, however, I might have changed it to fit the hero image I placed her in. I may have seen the hurt Edith was causing my aunt when she was trying so hard to keep Edith alive and well, but I erased that part of the story to fit the story I wanted to see my grandma as the strong woman that could never do wrong. Even that silly hat I saw them arguing over could have been of poor quality, but if my grandma thought it was worth something I might have glorified it to fit my idea of her standards. Knowing that my memories of her could be so disoriented, I can't look back at what I thought I knew for sure about my grandma and know now if that’s really how she was like. For all, I know she could've been a lot different than I remember her being. Turns out all that looking back trying hard not to forget her probably hurt my memory of her more than it did help me keep
