I had learned anything from Meemaw, it was that life was too short to wait around on other people to get things right. Maybe our grandmother had done some irrational things in her time, but maybe she’d done them because she knew that time doesn’t stand still. Sometimes it was worth risking everything to save the ones you love from heartache, from disappointment, sometimes from themselves. Her heart had always been in the right place, even if her execution had the grace of a cow on roller skates.
