The Matriarch Meetings

Blake Erickson discusses his relationship with his maternal grandmother, Donna Carpenter. He touches on what it's like to have divorced grandparents, how he felt distanced and overly sheltered during his grandmother's cancer treatment, and what it's like to know go through the death of a grandparent at a young age. He goes on to describe the meaning and influence his grandmother had on him, and how it's led to where he is today.
