Letters From Squirrels

Grandma Millicent was an eccentric old broad. That’s how she liked to describe herself, and honestly? It was spot on. I guess growing up I was closer to Grandma Millicent than anyone else, but to say that we were “close” is…a stretch. We hadn’t really talked much these past few years. I haven’t talked to much of my family since I left my parents’ house. We were never all that tight knit.
