how she died

I wonder what it was like for my Gran, the one I never met, that my dad hardly knew. I wonder what her death was like. Dying of a brain tumour. 

I'm guessing not great. 

I suspect it's why my dad wasn't allowed to see her. 

He didn't talk about it. 

Nothing to report, he would say. 

My grandad didn't either. 

But I wonder.
