My Grandmother’s House My grandmother’s house has a very special place in my heart. I lived with my grandmother for many years when I was little.

June 1944. D-Day Landings. Rocketing across the water‚ the beach and sky blur into one. But in my mind everything is still‚ even calm in fact. My eyes dart around. I see men.
