She still creates noise within our hearts, which is not a burden, like pain, but the quick splash of memories. I remember her strawberry-blond hair and, the nights when she would listen to a football game on her large clock radio while I slept on her pink silk pillows, which through the eyes of a little girl seemed a fantasy. I am the youngest so my memo- ries may seem simple, but those are the ones that make her real. She was passionate about jus- tice, fairness and politics. From her, to my mother, to my sister, and to myself is passed a strength. To use words in protest, to prance around with indepen- dence, and to accept. She knew a perfect love, a man I never knew but I'm told he robbed the cradle stealing a beauty so young but with plenty f . Or o vigor. The black and white of her time never captured her true radiance. She was the head of the table, the sister to some, the mother to some, the grandmother to some, liana Bruton is a sophomore at Michigan State University in the College of Arts and Letters. She works at the writing lab and with the SASS program, helping others with their writing. She studies art, theater, French and English, and hopes to be a playvvright when she completes her education. liana graduated in 1998 from Groves High School in Birmingham. and a story for others. As she curtsies into a new realm I am merely happy that unlike the stars we beseech, I had the chance to meet, to listen, to kiss and to honor my grandmother. Smile, she always liked it when we made her laugh. fl Editor's Note: Thank you to Lindy Bruton of Southfield, who sent us this poem written by her daughter. liana read "My Kaddish" at the funeral of her grandmother, Betty Mittleman, • last September.
