my grandmother's tombstone

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-seven years and one million words

St. Catharines, 2003.04.20

I went with my mother to St. Kitts for Easter with the Masterson clan. We visited my grandmother's tombstone in a cemetery there. It was my first visit, though I lived about a kilometer away for two years. It was good to see. I hope to have my grandfather's name added to the stone.

Illusions commend themselves to us because they save us pain and allow us to enjoy pleasure instead. We must therefore accept it without complaint when they sometimes collide with a bit of reality against which they are dashed to pieces.

—Sigmund Freud
