This reverse poem explores the subject of loving a person whom you have never met and the inexplicable bond one may have with such a person. My maternal grandmother died before my mother found out she was pregnant with me... but I grew up with stories about how wonderful, brave and loving she was; It made me feel as if I had known her. When I was in the second grade, I stayed up all night crying about missing my grandma. I hear my friends talk about growing up in their grandparent's homes and being close to them but I either never had the chance to meet mine or always had a language barrier between us. I wish I could have met her. 

These are the characters I designed based on photographs of my late grandmother. She was known to dress well and for her rotundness. The characters are posable and I made different interactive poses for each line of the poem that corresponded to a page.
