Italian grandmothers

Very few things scared her. As a critical care nurse she dealt with life and death everyday. But a 5 foot nothing little old Italian grandmother could. Especially when she took a liking to you and asked if you were married as the very first question. And then tried to expound upon the virtues of her eligible grandson. He was in the movies and on TV or so she said. Tanya tried to get out of there when talk turned to the grandson. She’d met is seemed like most of the family. Dom was one of the sons. Larry, Ray, Gina, and more she only recognized by faces. They were there every day. The clan was gathering. Because grandma was dying. She had fought and fought the cancer. It was going to win.
