When I was a child and I was really hurting, sometimes my grandmother would hold me and rock back and forth. It was the only thing that would really comfort me. I miss that and her so much, sometimes.

Years ago (when I was in my 20's), the old love of my life held me that way once and rocked me, it felt REALLY uncomfortable!!! Slightly freaked me out, actually. I think that's something that was my grandmother's territory, and just doesn't feel right coming from anyone else.
Weird...
